I always like the intense reds you put in your paintings, brings a painting alive.

The cropping must have worked because this is a great composition. I love the way you leave the White amongst the flowers and tree foliage. The figures are so well positioned.

It’s beautiful Thalia, I admit I crop paintings quite a bit. The figures lead you into the painting.

Love tha splash of blue near those luscious, orangey/browns Thalia.

Nice to see your work as vibrant as ever, lovely work. Just a note, the t**t word you have used is not what is expected on a site which 'could' have children viewing with adults. Whether you edit or not is up to you, of course.

I thought a lady of your standing, here, in the gallery wouldn't use a word like that. I'm so relieved you didn't take offense. I enjoy viewing your work, even though I don't always comment. Cheers Thalia :)

Beautifully painted Thalia, your cropping seems to have worked very well, great figures again.

Gorgeous colours, and love the way you have done the flowers.

Those bright sunny colours clearly speak of a Mediteranean scene, very effective, good figures too.

Thank you, CA Jones!!! I had no idea that was what it meant...must be more innocent than I thought!!! Thank you so very much for putting me right!!! And for such a kind comment. Thank you, Fiona, David..I have to hold my breath when I paint figures, especially plein air! Thank you, Margaret Stephen and Maureen. These are really kind comments.

Amazing what a little cropping can do! I took a very fast photo in Republik Street Valletta, it seemed to have very strange perspective. I painted from it...twit that I am!!! I have now cropped the left side by about 10 cms!
