Shipwrights, Wells-next-the-sea

Lovely colourful bright scene Sarah, great pen and watercolour work, lovely little boats in the foreground and masts in the distance

Ros got there before me and I agree with her, a very attractive painting Sarah!

Ros and Satu thank you so much for your nice comments :)

Sarah I was glad to find your gallery after your post on mine. You are in good company painting this scene and now join Wesson, Yardley, Hall, Hoar and Winkle among others. I like the non architectural way you have handled the drawing which gives character. I like my gallery to attract critical comment and I have learned a lot from members. I hope you will not mind my thoughts on this. I wonder if cropping the bottom two or so inches of the water, just above your signature, would bring the lovely red wall of the house nearer the Golden Mean. I have done this on my screen and to me it vastly improves the composition. Just a thought with which I accept many will disagree.

Alan, I always think that without criticism we do not grow! Actually , I agree with you !!! Isn't it funny how you can look at a painting but not see the best way to enhance it, I looked at one I painted last year and realised the reds in it were fighting each other. I appreciate you commenting on my painting and look forward to seeing more of your work on this site. I envy you painting with Steve Hall, alas! He does not come to our art group anymore as he is so very busy.
