As everyone says great water full of movement and your trademark lovely greens.

A real sense of depth in this, in the rise from water to sky; and great movement in the water - yes, getting the sky right is so often the key to whether a painting's going to work or not: on the whole I don't work on black, but would much rather do that (in acrylic anyway) than try painting on the pure white of a canvas - wonder why white's more intimidating than anything else; confusing tonal values, probably.... But I witter on: great painting.

Charles how did I miss this one? All I can say is that it is stunning and very beautiful.

Just stunning, Charles! Love the way you move the water from the top of the painting down - superb composition, great movement and wonderful scale!
