It's fabulous - loose and directed at the same time, full of light and motion, great perspective leading you in. I suggest that you put it away for a week and look at it again. Don't touch this one!!! It's beautiful. K I don’t know what you don’t like about it. It’s fabulous – loose and directed at the same time, full of light and motion, great perspective leading you in.

Someone I read in my other world (Alan Weiss) says we should be able to say "Two weeks ago I was really stupid" - which I quite like. I like that you have something from me in your travel-kit.

Learning in the area of our passions is such a rich experience. I could not imagine (for me) having the same conversation about accounting (for instance). Though I am deeply thankful that there are people who do these other activities who contribute to the general running of things. Phew! Its exciting hey?

And your words: "But a step further away is also a step closer " are brilliant. Wow! I'm putting those in my pocket and taking them with me on my journey. Thank You! :) Your painting is beautiful.

“But a step further away is also a step closer ”

No matter what you've learned to do, there will always be another "what if I do this?" with this medium. I agree with that.

I have both of them taped up in my studio and there is definitely something good happening. I think I am getting the feel for the techniques required to make this all work. Watercolour really is a voyage of discovery isn't it. Hi Leslie – thanks I am happy with this. I have both of them taped up in my studio and there is definitely something good happening.

I like what you have in the foreground for the snow with the pinks and blues. I like that obvious route into the cave. This is so believable and it's good. I like this.
