Wylye Valley after Steve Hall

Very nice Barry and I think your right to keep your eye on things a watercolour looks great if it clean and crisp and unfussy , and this is , lovely BARRY

I often go back to basics Barry, we need to sometimes and boy is this another clean and beautiful watercolour, I can't fault it!, this is a winning formula.

Thanks Dennis my thoughts exactly, I’m always telling others to simplify and keep it fresh I just need to take heed of my own advice!!!!!

Thank you Alan, I think it’s important to experiment and explore with your art but never forget what is already in the locker.

A nice example of what watercolour is all about Barry.

Clean and fresh, being simpler...but even your more "layered" work such as "A Day in Cromer" works brilliantly in my opinion. You have the skills to take it as far as you want.

Super, fresh watercolour Barry, in style it reminds me of Jem Boden's work which I know you like also.

Thank you Timothy, just want to make sure I remember the journey.

Thank you Stephen, not surprised at your comment Jem and I have similar role models and paint together in the same Plein Air group. In my opinion he is one of the most talented landscape watercolourists around at the moment.

Agree with all and with you about Jem and Steve Barry superb as always

Thank you Dennis nice to see you back your opinion is always very welcome.

Nice fresh painting Barry. Some nice colours and contrasts. I constantly have to revert to the basics myself as I find that with watercolours it is terribly easy to end up a bit confused about methods and techniques. The basics always help to straighten me out again.

Thank you Peter, glad to hear that others also feel the need from time to time.

Beautiful loose style, Barry.

Thank you Cesare.

Lovely

Just seen this again on the top line of the gallery. I recently watched an old DVD of Steve's and this is so reminiscent of his fine work, well done.
