Lovely Tessa, well done.

It’s wonderful, Tessa! I love it! Not a chocolate in sight! I think it’s the warm , low light. I’ve got to hand it to you…..😤😁

It’s a cracker Tessa!

Thanks so much everyone for the lovely comments. Marjorie, I would have put this on the forum but couldn’t find the thread. They disappear so quickly. I have to say whoever laid your patio has a lot to answer for- a tricky thing to paint!

12”x10” oil on linen covered board, painted in response to Marjorie’s recent challenge to paint her lovely garden in a non chocolate box manner!
