Your landscape impression is lovely and very atmospheric, and it is no wonder it was asked for by the owners:) Also love your still life watercolors with their simple yet inviting compositions. I like the colors and playfulness in No. 2 especially.<br />Happy painting:)<br />Sophia Sophia Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460620362173586812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-20704982156837846012013-06-28T05:39:12.511-07:002013-06-28T05:39:12.511-07:00Well, you've got photos and some great paintin...Well, you've got photos and some great paintings to add to your holiday memories!

The evening watercolors really show how much you gained from Reid. I love the looseness of them and the control of wet into wet. A lovely summer painting Mick. I enjoyed catching up with you. Charles Reid can really wield a brush.
