That, Barry, is a Wesson sky! Superbly painted watercolour.

All looks good to me Barry, tonal values are good. What a cracking composition as well.

Thanks to Fiona, I am chuffed that you think it’s a Wesson sky and Alan, Jim, Brian and Paula, for your comments.

Lovely sense of light coming through from the boat and plenty of atmosphere.

Thank you Linda I would be in trouble with Steve if I didn’t get the light in the picture!!!

This one works really well. The perspective draws the viewer into the scene and the masts make the sky really big. One of your best, I would say.
