But with half the adult population (myself included) now having got two vaccinations (and more than 75% at least one), the situation at the moment does seem less worrying. I'd still hesitate to put myself in a very crowded situation, though.

It still gives me an appreciation of the difficultues involved in creating paintings of this size, though. (For one thing, so much depends on "timing", and knowing how the paint behaves when the paper is wet vs dry etc.)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-79818980283623126672021-07-28T22:03:59.626+02:002021-07-28T22:03:59.626+02:00I enjoyed the watercolours although, like you, I d...I enjoyed the watercolours although, like you, I do not like large crowds so almost certainly would not have been at the concert in the Square.

I have a few smaller prints of watercolours of Ripon, Scarborough and Robin Hood's Bay, all gifts over the years from my mother-in-law in Yorkshire. I really treasure these, more than if they were photographs.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
