This is such a beautiful painting! I love the color.
Isn’t Tanya fantastic! I love her work. I have a few of her Thatchies on my fridge. I was just in her online gallery earlier and think I may have to order her Guiness Rat in a magnet, as well.
I may just need to detour and meet her for tea when I am over in June!
I have 3 of her pics on my wall and the more I look at them the more I want to look, they’re amazing!
That’s lovely! I want one in my room, really nice.
