Yesterday, after spending half a morning with the hose, digging and weeding our side passage, I found these self set pansies half hidden by the old gate in our back garden. Could you have resisted the temptation to paint them? :-)
This was a very quick watercolour sketch, completed just before it started to rain!
Yesterday we sold “Misty II”.
I feel a mixture of joy and sadness, because I am very fond of that watercolour. It was done in the wet-in-wet technique and A3 in size, the largest I had painted at the moment.

An almost monochromatic painting, as I used only Winsor & Newton’s Payne’s Grey with just a tiny little bit of Prussian Blue and Burnt Umber for the eyes. The blurred background contrasts with the strong oblique lines of the neck and face pushing the horse towards the viewer, as if it was emerging, galloping at full speed, from a fantasy mist.
I really hope the new owners enjoy this painting.
