Brilliant. You really are just letting it flow. The colours are very powerful, if that makes sense.

Yes Alan beautiful

Plaka paints? I've got to try these; not that I could hope to achieve these results just by using them. There's such strength and energy in your paintings. Reminds me of what Turner is said to have replied to a woman who observed "I've never seen colours like THAT in a sky!" - "No madam; but don't you wish you could?"

We do have skies like this, you just have to see them! That's a thumbs up from me and Jules......great work Alan.

Love the angry sky, Alan, contrasts beautifully with the finer details in the rest of the painting.

I love this dramatic interpretation of Pin Mill, Alan! It's so dynamic, yet somehow captures the essence of the place. And I just love that angry sky!
