Thanks Ian. Yeah, those rows of marsh grass and the ripples in the water could be improved. Stu

Thanks Olivia.  Michael Severin said he knew that I would like this palette, but I wasn't so sure until I tried it out a few times.  Michael Chesley Johnson says that Thalo Green is like nitroglycerin (just a little bit packs a big punch).  Thalo Green is a good indicator for when your brushes are clean, because if the soap suds is still a little on the green side, you are not done washing them yet!

Thanks Laura.   I stood right across the marsh on the dry marsh grasses just below the path.  I have a picket fence effect in my foreground on the left and my green house looks a little unfinished, but I got a lot of color into this one.  It is very busy though.
