Great post - I can se why it too you a while to get it up! The colour you've got in the paintings is extremely faithful to the real thing - well done!

adebanji said...

Thanks Katherine, you are the only one that understands. The post is still incomplete as I had to do away with comments on each painting. That's why you do a great job, blogging ain't that easy!
