Me, Self-Isolating on the Undercliff

"Excessiveness", that should have read. Oh, and its oil on board, 16" x 12".

Looks like a good spot ... and I like the painting too!

I like the transition from sea to sky, and yes, what a great spot! Lot’s of greens are so difficult to master, I’m no expert by a mile, but these seem pleasing to the eye! You’ve not asked for critique, so I’ll leave it there...

Pleased to finally see your painting posted. Lovely painting , Robert.

Great painting Robert.

This reminds me of a very beautiful painting by Monet. You have used very interesting brushstrokes with great skill and accomplished a rich, coastal scene, which is so appealing Robert.

Critiques would be welcome - Lord knows, I've applied plenty of my own to this!

“Sitting on the dock of the bay”.....what a lovely place to isolate, I wish I could sit at the other end of the bench with you and take in that view. Those wild flowers and gnarled bush behind you just makes it. Love it.

Just great, full of sparkle and humour.

What a great spot. Looking at your painting makes me wish I was there Love the way you painted the grsss and flowers

Many thanks for all your comments. I would never choose to paint like this, but it was so valuable to me in regaining brush-stroke ability, if such a term exists: incidentally, my sole whites were lead whites, not Titanium: this was part of the experiment, that and relying solely on Linseed oil (and a touch of sun-thickened oil) as a medium - no Turps or LOTS. It was quite an experimental painting, which taught me a lot - a Hell of a lot, to be honest! You're never too old to learn - and I think there's so much more to learn about oil painting that there is about any other medium (tempera excepted?) which is what makes it so endlessly and fascinatingly addictive.

I wonder what you were thinking... Like it...
