    Fabulous work Ginny.. x

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks Irene , I thinkk the paper has lots to do with how my watercolours turn out, so i have just got another sheet of this one to try another …. LOL 1 sheet! I used to use Bockingford a lot but people here don’t stock it, and I just don’t like Arches…

    Nice work Ginny, I will be back soon am still unpacking. We have a house now at Victoria Point. This looks like water and it is nice and sunny.

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    Oh Gloria ,Victoria Point is fabulous! lots of inspiration around thee. I am putting this into the Ekka ,I don’t enter the Watercolour section usually as the standard is incredibly, hoping the flu doesn’t take over though and there’ll be an Ekka!

    I feel isolated Ginny, we have to hook up the t.v. and then get the time to look at the news. Have just got the internet on. Yes, the Ekka is the place to catch anything. I miss the icecreams with the strawberries, although they don’t put as many strawberries in now.

    This is fantatic Ginny I have a photo I have taken from this exact spot – with every intention of painting one day – you have managed to capture the light and the colours I had hoped to – but doubt I will do as good a job!
