Really good watercolour, Walter. As you say, a very well known scene. Almost a photographic image but better than that, you have given us your own personal perspective.

You have asked for C & Cs and if it were mine I would probably have increased the tone of the grass in the foreground for balance and depth but nothing more. A comment not a criticism on a most accomplished watercolour.

I agree perhaps a little more variation in the grass to give a little more depth, otherwise a very accomplished watercolour like the rest of your gallery. Very good

Hi Stephen, Michael and Rick - many thanks for your kind words and gentle critique - you are probably right about the greens.

An impressive painting, all the detail so well observed. Personally I like the balance of the tones you have used.

Thanks Lesley - as always it's a matter of personal taste - just hope the lady who commissioned it likes it!

Beautifully painted Walter, I like your colours in the lovely old buildings.

Thanks Carole - you are very supportive.

A much-painted and photographed bridge over the Swilken Burn on the final hole of the Old Course, St Andrews. The painting is ~20x10 inches on Waterford White Rough paper using mostly W&N artists tubes. All C&Cs very welcome as always.
