I wish I'd taken the photo. <br /><br />Elizabeth - you wouldn't have any trouble finding fabulous Asian food! :) Many thanks for your kind comment. <br /><br />As for good watercolour books and DVDs: It's not really reflected in the style of this latest watercolour but I highly recommend a DVD called Splashing Paint by Australian artist John Lovett. He always inspires me. Also investing in a beautiful big fat No8 Winsor & Newton Series 7 sable brush will give your painting paintings an extraordinary boost. Well worth the investment. Let me know how you get on.<br /><br />Shirley - Thanks. I found the hats irresistible :) <br /><br />Joan - You are very kind about the sunflower but I'm not convinced. Glad you like the paddy field though. I wish I could find another reference that appeals as much. Better look in my own photos this time.<br /><br />Katherine.
