This is lovely Shirley, lively and colourful and I recognise those parrots!

Thank you Dennis, Thea, Fiona, Gudrun and Christine for your kind comments! Much appreciated! It was very good quality paper too, which adds so much to the different effects possible. (Compared to things in sketch books on plain old cartridge paper.)

A gorgeous little piece. I love all the marks and scratches. The colours make it too.

Shirley I like thos very much, striking colours. Did you use wax resist?

Excellent work, Shirley. I love the effect of the wax resist, it enhances the whole painterly feel of the scene.
