Robert, thank you. It's good to experiment, as what suits me might not work for you.
Tommy, thank you for the comments, I hope the scenery looks vaguely familiar.
All the best, Mike

I like the whole painting -- I am curious about the next paper. It,too, will probably be good, but maybe harder or easier to paint.

[Mike Wise]

Thanks Pat, glad you enjoy it. The Fabriano is so different in texture, almost little 'bowls or craters' in the paper as opposed to a general roughness of the Arches.
I hope I'll be able to steal a bit of time, as I am working this coming weekend, but will complete the second painting as soon as I can.
All the best, Mike

Giill, Lynn, Pedro and Katherine, thank you all for having a look, and your encouraging words. I'm looking forward to completing the twin painting on a different paper. Just haven't yet decided if I should try for a carbon copy, or something similar with different details. Any suggestions? All the best, Mike
