Ah, a breath of summer, Rose! Lovely! only another week before the nights start getting shorter.

Beautiful choices of colours and I love the path and the bench ... keep on painting...

Just beautiful Rose, I really love the colours and path. Keep painting.

That is really lovely Rose, well done!

Oh it's beautiful. I love those colours :o)

Thanks Helen and Gattina,I love these colours , especially the lilac .Thanks Terra, and yes i will keep on painting, especially this time of year when there's nothing much to do in the garden.Thanks cazcat and Sheilar for your lovely comments. I just hope Lil sees this now as she was the one to encourage me.I sent this picture to my dear friend Elizabeth in Ireland as a Christmas pressy.Once upon a time when times were really hard I always did pictures as presents.Happy Christmas all of you and thanks for making me feel so welcome here on goy.

Thanks Hywell, your comment just popped up while I was writing my thankyou's.

Lovely painting & your friend must be thrilled to have it on her wall. The colours are beautiful & I would love to park myself on that bench to enjoy it all.

that is so pretty rose, you clever girl, would make anyone smile to see that everyday on their wall

so glad you started painting again

Ha ha! Rose, gosh, that looks familiar... maybe it's because it's up on my wall! Thank you so much again, Rose, I'm so pleased with it, it's beautiful, and as I said before, it must have taken you ages, and then you gave it away...to lucky old me!! It's a very thoughtful gift, my friend, I'm really touched!xxx ps, don't stop now, Rose, on to the next one!

That's really nice. To make sure Lil Crawford sees this, you could send her a private message and let her know.

You are an excellent painter. Looks like professional art.

That is so lovely Rose what a talented lady you are:)

Thanks meadowland, I will take that as a compliment from a very talented lady.
Thanks Dywliss and Stickie.That bench gave me a right old headache trying to get it right.I'm pleased it made you smile Stickie.
Thankyou so much Alextb and Nana d for that really lovely compliment, I am blushing now!
Aah my friend Elizabeth, what can I say! I'm so glad you like it.

Its a mix of water colour and acrylic Meadowland and I was a bit nervous at first , but once i got started , it all came back to me and I really enjoyed it.

Lovely Rose...sorry I didn't see it before. It's like a picture of heaven isn't it....wonderful to imagine sitting on that bench and taking in the sounds of the birds and the scent of the flowers...and then there's the colours...wow! :O x
