Thank you. <br />Yes - warm white. It seems weird because white by its nature, is cool. Ovanis Berbarian would place a hint of ochre and aliz in the white for his florals. <br />The workshop will be great - I can tell. I keep them small so genuine learning takes place. When they travel so far they deserve a good experience. We have fun too!<br />Happy to see your new piece has such a strong impact. Your colors are fabulous. You are off and running again.!<br />juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-53997471387311736972016-06-06T21:03:51.816-06:002016-06-06T21:03:51.816-06:00Thanks Stelios.

Must admit I find floral subjects daunting. I should stop wimping and just have a go, I know. Right now I've two portrait commissions to do, but hope to get some daily paintings underway before too long. As the other commenters have said, it is great to see one of your posts in my inbox. Also, I too envy your workshop participants.
