Excellent painting the angle is great and you have done a really good job of the boats. Having seen these old cobbles lots of times in reality and photos , you have the shapes and look spot on the odd bit of rust is perfect.

Very well painted and interesting angle.

Thank you for your encouraging comments everyone. They mostly confirm my view that the close cropping and low viewpoint made for a good composition.

The crop adds impact, Brian, and the detail is impressive, without being over the top. Lovely painting. Bri

A pair of working boats which, when not at sea, can generally be found moored up together on Filey Cobble Landing. I’ve taken photographs of them many times with a view to painting them but never found a view I was happy with. Until this one & I rather like the “in your face” low angle. I’m not sure I’ve done them justice but the experience was enjoyable.
