Well done Rosa Girl!!!

 

thanks wildflower & gogs, going to do another one of the cottage but another angle, they are for my friend who has that cottage in france so she is going to get old frames for them to put up in the cottage.
my biggest challenge will be doing the tyne bridge for the same friend, her o/h has always wanted a painting of the tyne bridge, and she wants it done from the 1930s so its finding a picture its proving difficult.

 

I love the cottage Rosa - makes me want to go and stay in it

PS If you google Tyne Bridge 1930 a few images come up

 

I do like the cottage, Rosa. You have kept it fresh and clean. So easy to overdo watercolours and finish up with a muddy mess. Well done

 

You got there in the end, rosa. It's lovely. Look forward to seeing more colour from you.

 

Lovely rosa, yes, nice and fresh, just as watercolour should be, just keep going, and don't forget pastels as well!

 

thank you for the lovely comments, will try google for tyne bridge marge thanks

 

just painted this for my daughter its on an A2 size

 

I really like those colours, rosa. What room does it suit in her home?

It's my sort of thing and would go with my oriential guest bedroom theme. Ours is Egyptian.

 

she wants it for her lounge, she has a red settee with red and gold cushions, red curtains and a plain light mustard carpet, with pine furniture.I wouldnt personally have it in my room but she has different taste to me, do hope she likes it as she likes modern things.

 

That is really striking! Excellent colours and the lines of the grass stems are just perfect.

 

thanks hb, just noticed i hadnt finished it at bottom left corner, done it now.
