My husband just peeked in and saw your painting. He likes the colors you have chosen and says you have good composition !
Well, that is the first time I have heard of bathing with cucumbers !!
Sounds very cool on a hot summer day.
The color worked out well, looking more red now then Terra Cotta as it dries but no way am I changing that wall again. It gives the fireplace wall a nice warm feeling, especially nice color for fall and Christmas.
