About this painting

I started this painting before I went to Japan. After coming home from Japan I looked after my granddaughter during the holidays and then spent a few days in the Uk. So it was well and truly dry when I picked it up again yesterday.

To revive the surface I used Liquin, spreading it over with lint free cloth, leaving it for a few minutes and then wiping off the excess. This softens the dry surface and ensures a good bond between the dried paint and the new paint.
