Lovely shapes and colours. Looks as if it was a lot of fun to paint!

Hi Colleen and Robert -thanks for your kind words -however painting while snorkeling is sadly a dying art!

This version is super too. Just to be awkward, can you tell me how you altered a finished painting! Thanks,Avril.

Great treatment of the water and reflections. Beautiful.

Hi Avril and Val - many thanks for your kind words -the painting is darker and more luminous IRL. PS to Avril - I applied a glaze of a Fr Ult, AC and BS over the background to soften the water "blooms" , this is best done by turning the painting upside down and working away from the "horizon" - I also flicked in a little more local colour on the waterlillies and buds. Don't know if I am allowed to advertise but here goes! - the painting will be in a winter exhibition at the Eduardo Alessandro Studios in Broughty Ferry by Dundee from this Saturday - it is not yet on their website www.eastudios.com but hopefully will be soon.
