Hi Nightjar,
Thank you for your comments on my Mosel painting really appreciate
them. Don't really know why Im not keen,perhaps I should add some vines
to the back of the village...just feel there is something missing..
Maybe I should just move on and paint something else!
Hope you have a lovely week
best regards
James.
