Thank you for your kind words. Norah, it is not gouache this time, it is actually watercolours from tubes. I was taken in by actual colours of the foliage and decided to go for full colour. It is quite transparent in reality. I want to thank Carmel for organizing such wonderful day.

Beautifully painted - did you use gouache? I bought a set after seeing you use them so skillfully but they are still in their box, your painting is full of light

It turned out brilliantly! I saw you painting it, but didn't want to disturb the artistic flow, so left you to it.  I love the reflections on water, it pulls you right into the painting.
