All those leaves to do!!! Thanks for including the 'close ups', they make a real difference in the viewing of the picture, especially since I can't stick my nose right up to the work :)!!! It is looking lovely, as usual, I can't wait to see the final finished piece!

Sweetmango...I am anxious to finish this one so I can get on with other projects in the works. Glad you like the "close ups!"

Sandy said...

I agree with sweetmango! The close-ups are great and make it possible to see exactly what is happening.
This is shaping up to be one of your best ....stunning work Perugina!

Sandy, you are being too kind in your compliments. I know what it is in my mind and it's so difficult to realise this image onto the paper.
Keep on trying and keep on painting.

The finished product is a credit to you. Its simply beautiful. The colours are soft but vibrant. I really like this very much. No suggestions from me. How fortunate you are to be able to look at it for a few weeks. I think I could look at it forever. Congratulations. L

L... Thanks for your lovely thoughts on this. I'm glad it's a hit with you.

L, know how much I love the mountains. I think of them and want to leave immediately!
My need at the moment is dire...haven't been there for a while. Perhaps next week..if I'm lucky.
Well a girl can live in hope.
Have a great week.
Catch up soon.
