Geraniums at Gillthwaite Rigg, Windermere

Ohhhh, Pam, you are so fortunate to be able to work in a garden center!! I’m sure it’s hard work, but so enjoyable at the same time! I glad this painting appeals to you! – Pat

Hey, thank you, John! I really appreciate your “stopping by”! – Pat

Thank you again, Lorilee! I really appreciate your kind encouragement! – Pat

Thank you, Mik! – Pat

I really appreciate your kind comments, Bev! Now I need you to teach me how to negative paint! – Pat

Thank you very much, Lori! – Pat

Hi, Steve! I really appreciate your kind encouragement! – Thank you! – Pat

Thank you so much, Agnes, you are always so uplifting in your comments! – Pat

Thank you, Orla! Knowing that rain clouds are never too far away no matter where (or almost where!) we are, I always try to take some with me along with my camera. Don’t know if that’s dedication or just preparedness! (I used to be a Girl Scout.)

Sharon, you are always so encouraging – thank you very much, my friend! – Pat

Hi, again, Lynda! I’m so glad to know you’re back, and OK from all the fire trauma! And Peter? Thanks for taking a look at this one, and for all your supportive words! – Pat

Thank you so much, Mary-Ann – your comments are always so kind! – Pat

I’m so pleased this one appeals to you, Linda! Thanks for taking the time to stop by again and comment! You are appreciated, my friend! – Pat

Hi, Irene – Thanks for your always so kind words! With all the rain you get in the U.K. and we get here in the Seattle area, one way to stay dry is to stay inside and paint while everything outside stays nice and green. – Pat

I appreciate your kind comment, Wanda – thanks so much! – Pat

I am glad you like this one, Sue! – Thank you so much! – Pat

Hi, Catherine – It pleases me that you like this one! Do you get up to the Lake District very often? I often get my “England fix” through the gorgeous RB photos you and others post here – so a big Thank You to you, as well! – Pat

Thanks, Dougie – I’m glad you like this one, too! – Pat

Thanks, Doug! I could sure take some lessons from your marvelous work, though! Do you ever give “lessons by mail”? – Pat

Thank you, Hal! Yes, it was a very quiet, peaceful day – at least until we headed out into the storm for dinner. We had a GREAT meal at the Queenshead in Troutbeck – and chocolate bread pudding for dessert! It was SO cold on the way back, but Tony, our host, had a roaring fire going just for us, we were so impressed! One of the reasons we so long to go back! – Pat

Brian, I really appreciate your detailed comments on this painting – Thank you for taking the time to do so! It helps me! – Pat

Scarlet, you MUST go to Windermere – it’s not all that far from you, and you would enjoy it so! A great place for photographs! Thanks for liking this watercolour! – Pat

You’re so kind, Ingrid – thank you! I appreciate your visit! – Pat

Thank you very much, Ming! There are so many positive things to do on rainy days! – Pat

Thanks, Ken, I’m glad you like it. It’s perhaps because I’M an antique, that I like such fixtures as this window latch, and your lovely round door handle. – Pat

Thank you, Jan! It was fun to have a “rainy day” excuse to sit down and paint it! – Pat

Hi, Thomas! What a lovely thing to say! And I so hope you WILL start painting again! It’s such a wonderful way to express yourself! Thank you for your nice comment my friend! – Pat

How nice of you, Jade! I’m so pleased you like it!

Thank you, Bill, for your kind words – this one was really fun, as well as a bit challenging, to paint.
