Hi Oldivad Thanks for your kind words. My water colours have been getting dusty now for a few months, so your kind words have encouraged me to bring them out of hiding and get another work underway. My best wishes for Christmas and the new decade. Cheers, Russell
Cheers Hazel, we must be getting all the rain and cooler weather this side of the ditch. Thanks for your words of encouragement. All the best, Russell (NZ)
i love the softness of your painting it gives it a really atmospheric effect, i am not usually taken by watercolours but this did attract my attention,well done regards keith blessed
You are too kind Ron. I am trying to get friendly with watercolours so hope to have something new in the not too distant future. I wish you a joyous retirement my friend and look forward to catching up with you in the not too distant future. Cheers
Thanks Mark you are most kind. I wish I could feel as confident as you express it. To be honest I was petrified when I painted this, throwing caution to the wind and literally went for it. Something I have been trying to achieve ever since.
This is a lovely scene. You achieved great depth with distance as well as midfield. I like your reflection and use of colour. A pleasure on the eye. Charlette
Hi Russell, I especially enjoyed the perspective of this piece. My own kept going to the right and moving across to the left. Subtle and beautiful. 5 ***** from Mike
Cheers Mike nice to meet you and thanks for your kind words.Do you have any relations on this side of the ditch as i know a Dave Giddens. All the best and thanks again.

Since my childhood I have dabbled away with pencil, chalk, crayons, paints scurrying away pastels that my dad had dropped or mislaid when he was working on a new landscape. Occasionally I take out my acrylics or watercolours,always returning to pastel.
