Please accept this as a compliment: If I HAVE to sit in a waiting room, I’d like to see that on the wall. It looks so peaceful. Would like to lie in it and listen to the water, lapping gently.
Freda Surgenor replied
Thank you very much, it is a small painting, so you would have to sit quite close!

Randy Sprout
I really love the way you have taken the repetitive elements of the little waves and used it to produce the perspective. You other works really show your depth of observation.
