This is one of my earlier paintings I wasn't totally happy with, whilst I was pleased with the boat in the foreground the rest of the painting with the grey sky didn't sit right. So I put it back on my easel and experimented with some colour. I rather like the result but your comments would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Pat - Yes I normally work from photographs, but this one is a bit different, The sky is just how I felt it should look like. I kind of like the outcome.
Derek & Syd - That boat has never sat right with me I have thought I might even paint it out and put something else there.
Thanks again,
Steve.

It's a very good piece of work I too agree with Derek and Sid about the boat if you paint it out you could put a pool of water or a gull there if the space needs it ... Only one other thought would you consider putting a couple of flicks of white in the the blue pool of water at the side of the boat little flicks of light colour really finish a piece IMHO ,
Either way it's a lovely painting

Another good effort on the whole Steve, if you replace that boat with one from Syd's pics all will look a whole lot better, the left boat is very good by the way.
Sunsets on the whole can be notoriously difficult to achieve, they can sometimes look a bit twee and there is a tendency to go 'overboard' and get carried away. This sky does look a bit like a raging inferno, sometimes less is more, have a good look at some photos of sunsets and see what your thought's are but well done anyway.
