Coquet Island, from Warkworth Beach

Comments

You’re so lucky to have such a wonderful beach near to you Marjorie. Great light and distance, and I love the foreground grasses on the dunes.

I agree with Tessa, you are so lucky to live near that beach - beautiful painting.

Beautiful scene and colours, Marjorie.

Margaret, Tessa and Cesare, thankyou for your comments. We're lucky to live within walking distance from the beach and we walk there most mornings.

A lovely tranquil scene with super colours Marjorie.

A beautiful scene Marjorie with your trademark softness, that sky is stunning.

Love that sky

I have to say what a stunning painting this is Marjorie. You’ve captured the early light superbly. I’ve not posted anything yet to the new site, lost a bit of interest in it I suppose, let’s hope it returns! Great to see you painting again.

Thanks , Susan, Val, Heather and Alan. No beach today, it's dull and rainy. Chance to catch up on the housework....not!

Wonderful painting Marjorie. In Spain at the moment and this makes me feel quite nostalgic. Don’t miss those cold winds that slice you in two though.

Many thanks Carole,( wind not too slicing yet ), Russell, Thalia, Maureen and Willie. Still have same paint left so I'm in the mood to do a similar one.

What a beautiful scenery, lots of depth in it, fantastic!

Quite stunning Marjorie. Love the warm purples in the foreground grasses and the depth.

Lovely, Marjorie!

You have taken it all in here Marjorie. I see we now have to go to the bottom of the page if you want to read the description. It was correct when the description was on the right.

Mia, Fiona, Jennifer and John, glad you like it and thank you very much for the comments. John - I prefer the description being immediately under the painting, as it was previously.

Marjorie, put your granddaughters picture up if you have it. It will encourage others to dig theirs out as well. Great stuff.lol

Posted by John Graham Inkson on Tue 01 Oct 08:02:15

Beautiful and tranquil, Marjorie. I love those purples.

Posted by Ellen Mooney on Tue 01 Oct 11:26:19

It was my daughter, John. Yes, I will dig them out and post them, probably on Friday, as I'm away for a short break at the moment.

Thanks, Ellen.

Small oil, 10"x10". The light on the sea in the mornings is wonderful. We often go to the beach, shelter near the dunes and take it all in.
