Back Yard Shade

If you want my opinion, Shirley, don't touch it. I love the marks and your simplification of the actual objects. Is that resist? Oil pastel? I'm a fan of Bonnard; his veranda and garden scenes. This has a similar feel. Love it. I told Marjorie Firth yesterday that I always like your work.

Inventive and bold Shirley. Liked it on sight.

He did. And I said I remember you saying quite a while ago that you were trying to be “ looser” ( re painting of course). You’ve succeeded really well, I’m envious.

Thanks, Roger. I always like yours, and have done for a long time. Thanks so much, Jim and Marjorie. Don't know about you, but I periodically root out old pics and see things to do with them.

Roger, it's resist with masking fluid or wax (can't remember) and water colour, plus pastel.

I like the result Shirley.
