    Very nice, rosa, lovely subdued colours. I'm sure woo will be very proud of it.

    The good thing with my acrylic on canvas is that if / when I make a mistake, I can just go over it, again and again.

    I have new pearl and metallic paints which are easy to work with, give a wonderful effect and have gone over the hair of my nudes with them. [​IMG]

    Rosa - can I add my compliments on your watercolours. You have a definite style all of your own and your paintings are full of personality and a joy you manage to capture.

    Well done.

    I don't know much about art or art criticism, but I would say that from your paintings I would guess you are a person with a very kind heart and your work appears very personal to you.

    I loved the almond blossom you did for LOL. It looks so good 'in situ'.

    These were my faves of the ones you posted....

    Watercolouring is a very difficult medium and I think your paintings are absolutely charming.

    Ah thanks for showing the source photo KF!

    I would say that Rosa has done it incredible justice. I particularly love the way she has pulled off the 'wintry sun'. - not an easy thing to accomplish! And the trees are marvelous - well done to photographer and artist alike [​IMG]
