Comment by Marilyn Dueck on November 19, 2012 at 14:21: no worries Rita. Watercolor is my passion. I haven't been enough in my studio of late, but hope to get there more regularly again. Do have a great holiday in NZ next month. If it wasn't such a looong way I'd want to go there again. I just loved the landscape and the people.

Comment by Rita McArthur on November 19, 2012 at 14:07: Hi Marilyn - sorry about the sheep painting - got my wires crossed there! I love your watercolours, the colours are so fresh and lively and I like your use of the white space. I started off doing watercolours and then switched to acrylics, which was very difficult. But, I'm getting the watercolour feeling again,especially after seeing your colourful paintings. Cheers, Rita

Comment by Susan Skuse on August 24, 2012 at 23:01: The colours are lovely - I especially like the way the purple wash for the beach has granulated. I like the simplified shapes - kind of posterised - they remind me of Dufy. The variation in the orange trees and the sparkle of the white paper showing through is very nice.

Comment by Marilyn Dueck on August 23, 2012 at 12:57: Thank you Rita for your kind words of encouragement. I learned much from doing this workshop.

Will go to the gallery to find your paintings.

Comment by Riya on August 22, 2012 at 21:07: Well,...what can I say...I just love all of your paintings, all three colourgroups you've used are beautiful. Keep on the good work, Marilyn, Just love it!!!
