White Roses by Thalia Stones

Love the simple way you have painted the buildings, a case of less is more, in the same manner you have used to simplify the balustrade. Lovely fresh, appealing painting Thalia.

Thank you very much, Carole...so many buildings...I'd be there now if I'd not abstracted and simplified it!!! Thank you Heather and Stephen, kind comments!

Oh yes, Thalia you’ve got a corker of a painting here. I love how you have simplified everything, especially the balustrade.

Lovely sunny scene Thalia, can't understand why you left a wet, chilly, storm lashed U.K.!

The beautiful bushes of white roses and the lovely distant view of the Cittadella caught my imagination on this very humid morning last week. I has an idea of how to simplify the balustrade which threatened to take over the scene [this is actually a graveyard!!!] I struggled with it and ended up washing it out almost completely. Amazing strength in this lovely Bockingford paper.
