  1. Carissima, è come se una furia d'acqua volesse distruggere repentinamente la viva rossa bellezza del papavero. Un segno forse di questo tempo matto che perdura o della fragilità della vita... Ciao e buon 1° Maggio.

  10. And they do fade fast and aren't very lovely to look at. You turned something sad into something beautiful and uplifting. Very lovely watercolor!

  28. Thanks Jane I did it!!!! Have a followers section now... am a bit of a numpty where these things are concerned!!!

    Have just added a new blog, I saw yours about transparent and staining colours and it reminded me of the one I did. I run an online group so was trying to encourage them to do the exercise for their own palettes and so wanted to lead by example and did mine, surprising what you learn by doing it.
