Very good and wise words too!

This is a super painting Steve. The limited colour palette works extremely well.

Thanks Spencer

Great idea and a lovely little painting Steve. Your limited colour palette works really well on this.

Good advice and a lovely portrait duo.

Nice one Steve!

I like this concept very much - especially the palette. What a charming couple as well.

Thanks Tessa, give it a go

Cheers Carole

Cheers Alan and Richard

Thanks Coral

I really, really like this. I have lots of my late Mum's B&W photos, so I'll give it a try.

Cheers Bobbie. Give it a go black and white photos are great for this exercise.

Love it, Steve.

Thanks Shirley
