Another lovely painting Seok, as always full of interest and colour. I love the expressions on the tourists' faces, especially the lady on the right. They look like they're having a wonderful time!

Another beautiful painting Seok to add to your wonderful portfolio . You have really captured the holiday feeling in this one. Thank you also for taking the time to comment on my work , you may have seen them all before as I managed to delete my whole portfolio just before Christmas; so I am now re-listing them all. I hope you enjoyed your holiday and a very happy new year to you. Keep up the beautiful work !!

Hope you had a good vacation Seok, this is a very jolly painting of a jolly looking group.

I agree with Lesley, your greens are great and the movement of the group is well rendered ,love it Seok

Nice strong colours and repition of shapes.I can see a lot of work in this, and tonally it is sound .Lovely.

Hi Seok - so pleased you are back and posting again - have missed your vibrant and so interesting pictures (this one is no exception) - thanks so much for your really kind comments on my seasonal postings and all the best for 2012

A beautiful watercolour Seok. I haven't been on the site for about three weeks, haven't been anywhere as exciting as SA.; so I too have to catch up with postings. A Happy New Year to you and keep producing such inspirational; work as this.

I am very glad to see you back, Seok. I agree with all the above comments: your works are always so interesting (the story behind them) and so perfectly executed! And yes, thanks for all your lovely comments on my work. I also wish you a Happy and Creative New Year with lots of travels and painted souvenirs to share with us!

A wonderfully relaxed, warm and happy painting Seok, I do envy your greens! Happy new year to you.

They look a happy bunch! happy new year to you and many more good paintings!!!!!!:)Linda

Such bright sunlight and brilliant colours Seok. Happy New Year to you too.

This is such a happy painting Seok, you can almost hear them saying "hello! to you! And your greens are good too.

Hi Seok, geat to have you back I hope you enjoyed you vacation, and a very happy new year to you. I see you have been busy with you comments! thank you so much, even if I doi think you are too kind! This posting of yours, I love it, such a happy group. You know I love lots of colour in art, but you manage to do it so much more subtly than I do. Look forward to many more like this.

Your holiday has obviously done you good as this is a wonderfully colourful and cheerful painting. Love the fresh clean look of the palette. Super trees as well. One of your best I think. Welcome home by the way - you have been missed.

I didn't recognise this as one of yours. Many more people than usual. What a lively group. The head tilt of the woman on the right really gives her life and humour. The bright but not overpowering clothing works perfectly to bring the group forward. Wonderful shadows under the awning too.

Hi Seok, good to have you back, and so many great comments to return too! I'm looking forward to your new travelogues, [love this one] and thanks for your comments on my last two, great to have positive feedback so thanks again!

Nearly missed this one ! Briliant

Wow! Thank you so very much everyone! I greatly appreciate your encouragement and very kind comments. It's great to be back!

Happy New Year to you too Seok! I have also been away and then ill with pleurisy so I nearly missed this one. A cheerful bunch of ladies walking here! A very nice, warm feeling and good mixture of colours with something bright and then softer . Works well together!

Thank you so very much, Satu! I am so sorry to hear you were ill. I hope you are fully recovered now.

Happy New year Seok. It's great to have you back too. I cannot add much more to the comments made above it is a lovely happy picture. Thankyou for the comment on my boat picture of the River Wey.

Hi Seok, like you I'm trying to catch up on all I've missed over the holiday period so thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on my Robin Christmas card. I can only reiterate what everyone has said about this painting, full of life and colour and what a characterful bunch they look. Happy New Year to you too.

I think you've hit the spot with this one - this'll be the 30th comment! Not only a very accomplished painting, but also a witty one - some of the ladies look as if they're about to curtsey. Well done.

Thank you so very much, Val, Joy and Robert!

As a dabbler in watercolour myself, I admire the skill with which you have depicted your group of ladies in Cape Town.. Such natural poses. Congratulations Seok

This is so jolly with wonderful colours used and lots of movement. This is page 4 Seok! Very well done :)

Thank you so very much, Joe and Sarah!

Some ladies enjoying an outing near the Victoria and Alfred Hotel on the Cape Town waterfront in South Africa. Happy New Year, everyone! I've just come back from vacation, so my apologies for missing out on your postings for the past three weeks or so. I'll be catching up on my backlog, I promise!
