Thank-you Carlos. I find watercolours easier than I expected and they are actually more forgiving than is said about them. You can remove areas and rework things and the more you rework the richer the colour becomes and the more spontaneous the brushwork seems.

Alex, thank-you very much for your lovely comments. It seems when I am not trying hard to make an effect or be "great" or try to get better than I was before in a linear way I end up with something that really works.

Linda, thank-you very much for your kind comments. The glow is from my own motherly feelings as well. Why eschew sentimentality or sweet emotion? It's a valid human feeling and if it's there it's there and it shouldn't be denied. (This is me telling myself this, standing up against all the advice I have been given in the past to stay away from such "chocolate-boxy" ideas).
