Fabulous light and shade, composition, bold colours, chunky fence......., Shirley. I know what everything is, and yet there's an abstract quality. I can't express how much I like this painting.

I like the bold style of painting - it gives great form to the subject.

Old picture, new colours. Always trying to investigate what happens when you try different things.
