    wonderful piece… especially framed in black

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks Tom ithe original is 120×85 on a wide stretch canvas so in a wrap around flat frame it looks even better ! I can’t relate to what the real print [as shown here] would look like, I am used to seeing the oil surface.

    looking forward to going through your folio [grr need time time time] the framed pic on your profile look fabulous.

    Gave the card of this pic, that I bought earlier in the year,
    to my Mum for her 75th birthday.
    She loved it
    and it will go on display in her room when all the Chrissy cards come down.
    Thank you! She may never get to travel there again
    but your art is a lovely reminder of why she loved the place.
