'Island Side Rivulet' and other small paintings in oil.....

It's April! New work to start the month and I think I've managed to find a fairly straightforward way to straighten, crop, adjust colour and exposure and resize artwork images, using a combination of Google Photos and PicMonkey.  For the first time since acquiring the new desktop computer, posting to my blog has been stress-free.
