I am trying to develop my personal palette of colours, using just one red, one yellow and one blue (it's amazing how many there are of each one). I liked the various violets and lilacs I am able to create with the three I finally chose. The greens are nice too. This is a far cry from the few apples now lingering on our tree.

I love the detail Brent and the colours. Very pretty and realistic. You’re really talented. Thank you. Xxx

Beautiful colour and detail. It's very delicate and reminds me of the beauty and fragility of nature.

That's so beautiful BrentW and an exhibition of your great talent. The colour palette is lovely and your technique delicate! A super painting!

But autumn is here, Callendersgal. Sob. What happened to summer?

Equally stunning BrentW and so evocative of this time of year: Yes, summer has indeed passed in a flash, and winter's out there, just waiting:

So you should view this fleeting world

As a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,

A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,

A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream. (Buddha)
