This is beautiful: composition, light and colours.

Nice effect and subject Shirley.

That red jacket makes this more lively. I'd love to sit around in a garden like this. Ours is overgrown by grass, shrubs and weed. Each neighbour waiting for the other to do the job, and it's not my turn.

Fabulous light and palette, Shirley. Love that blue, it works so well to set off the rest of the scene.

Thanks Gudrun, Jim, Ibolya, Seok. Yes, Ibolya, I know what you mean. This is my friend's garden😊

Just added some phthalocyanine blue wash yo this to intensify and separate the background. Painted some time ago in Rosie's garden.
