Now that I have a sweet old gnarly oak across the street from my apartment, your paintings have more meaning for me. I'm also pleased the swan has returned.suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432352442859238887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977564569973321926.post-22722941146286720072012-04-16T11:46:26.451+01:002012-04-16T11:46:26.451+01:00Wonderful oak leaf. :)Wonderful oak leaf. :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030561141773790195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977564569973321926.post-11426680419468641442012-04-16T10:32:54.932+01:002012-04-16T10:32:54.932+01:00Il est toujours très agréable pour moi de partager...Il est toujours très agréable pour moi de partager vos promenades, vos impressions et vos trouvailles...

It's good that the sky cleared quickly, or sort of quickly.<br /><br />I also love the shapes of oak leaves, and the painting you show us today is a great example. <br /><br />Seeing your photo of the swan reminds me that I also saw a pair of swans relaxing on a very green field during my recent day in the Cotswalds. It was a splendid sight!<br /><br />Milly, I am still trying to get re-acclimated to the sights of New York City without completely letting go of all I saw on my holiday.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977564569973321926.post-1980531271018647882012-04-16T00:18:41.593+01:002012-04-16T00:18:41.593+01:00Wonderful oak leaf painting.

The new ink is such a pretty color. <br />JenniJennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933243243697227084noreply@blogger.com
