Boy and birthday cake

[Thomasin Dewhurst]

Thank-you Margaret. I suppose it is a mother's habit to see the angelic side of her (almost always) rambunctious child.

Your stuff is not weird and over emotional.

You handle watercolors beautifully.

Yes he is angelic looking, unlike those screaming tots at the checkout lane in the supermarket.

Thank-you Sharon. I handle watercolours beautifully on occasion. After making a great many clumsy, ham-fisted attempts, luck, pitying me, comes to my rescue and puts my brush marks where they should be put.

I love your watercolor as well as your other paintings, Thomasin. This one is great - one can almost feel the heat from the candle, and he has that mesmerized look people get looking into a flame. But the action is just below the surface - you just know this little guy is about to burst forth - possibly to blow out the candle?

[Thomasin Dewhurst]

Thanks very much, Julie, for your generous comments.
