Nice work Fred. Tute to you too! Your shading and highlights are well done and really creates a 3 dimensionality to the piece. (And love the color palette.)
And welcome to your first Challenge! Ray sings your praises.

Hello Fred, welcome to your first challenge and I know you’ll be doing more. Can I tell you all out there that Fred still has the original piece but has sold print after print of this one, and it was, when it was painted, his very first watercolor. Talk about starting late in life! Well done to you, mate. Well done.

Fred,
You’ve managed to capture a warmth of life into the cold covering. I am always a fan of patterns in artwork and you’ve mastered it here.

Fred, wow, this was your first watercolor?? I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of your work. I agree with Vikki, in the gallery view, I thought it WAS a three dimensional piece!
