Frigid hard worked
Hands
Shoulders

Give me love...

images slowly set

as colours cry

wet-into-wet

Inspired by James Peranteau's recent poem ALL COLORS CRY
Whistler was a master of this technique as was Manet.A favourite of mine see this link ( a 
large print of which was bought by my family for my 60th (over a decade back now) and 
hangs in our lounge.
