Hi Ellen thank you. Progress is being made. Back at Hosp tomorrow for outpatients check-up. Our turn here for a heat wave. Hope all is ok with you and yours. P.s. just posted about a Ron Ranson book on watercolour Impressionism and artists. It is marvellous and has rekindled my…cont’d

Rekindled my enthusiasm to pick up the brushes again. I think it is a book you would enjoy.

My iPad camera doesn’t do them any justice especially one by Douglas Treasure - how the colours mesh and meld together is terrific and what you can’t see is how he handled the boat reflection in the pool of water. The darks lighter and the light darker. Subtle touch

Haha thank you again Ellen. I like to think I have an appreciative eye. When it comes to ‘doing’ I’m afraid I’m a continual beginner. After receiving this book I’ll be beginning again but from Step 2 now 😉

Glad to hear that progress is being made! Hoorah! Sorry about the heat wave. Just easing off a few hot days here, but we didn't have the terrible heat happening elsewhere. We're mostly OK. I'll DM you
