This is beautiful Jane...and so unusual for you! Very dreamy atmosphere.
This is a superb painting Jane. I adore the contrast between the soft, almost misty trees, and the straight edges of the castle tower. And you've certainly captured that romantic atmosphere that possibly inspired Da Porto. Beautiful.
hi jane grazie ..in the watercolour course i've attended we've painted lots of landscape paintings from photos ...now with the warmer weather i wanted to paint outside and just start consolidating what i've learnt in the lessons and pratice "step by step" as i have done here.

I agree with John, the contrast between soft and hard edges is wonderful! Lovely to paint outside!
Comme un effet de brume matinale, très belle aquarelle.
