It's lovely, Barry, and what a great idea, so much light and life in this

Love this, Barry. It's your handling of detail that impresses, I know I'd be fussing away like mad, but you've done just what's needed. Excellent.

Thank you Thalia, I always try and get as much light and contrast as I can. Thanks Lewis I am not as good as you at detail and have to result suggesting it. I have thankfully been able to develop this style over the last few years. Of course I wouldn’t have been able to do this if I had used ink.

Love this, Barry. Minimum detail, but says everything.

Very nice it is too Barry

Like your figures and the sunshine look, Barry

Hope I did it justice Tony.

I love this, Barry.

Thank you Ellen.

This painting was based on a photo from our friend Chris of a Cambridge Street . My original plan was to produce an ink and wash and for a change I decided to put my initial washes on before any ink work, however I got carried away and it has ended up as a watercolour.

I started painting in 2004, I am influenced by Wesson, Seago and many of the great masters, more recently I enjoy the work of Steve Hall, John Hoar and Alvaro Castignet to name but a few. I paint in a loose style and try to simplify as I can. The medium I enjoy most is watercolour but dabble with…
