Oban Fishing Boats

Comments

Superb - a really strong image. I love your portrayal of the boats, and the different surface textures of the sea, and I think the treatment of the distant hills is beautifully judged

I like this one a lot Colin, nice. The water texture is terrific.<br />

You were really lucky Colin, you caught about the only sunny week the West of Scotland has had! This is terrific, beautifully observed.

Beautiful work Colin, and really nice reflections in the water in the foreground.

Visited Oban on the west coast of Scotland back in April during a very sunny week. Took a few photos around the harbour and made this little watercolour painting from one of them.
