I’ve been trying to send a photo of a rainbow by Seago, but had a message to say I was blocked by the site - looks like I can send text but I’ll try again re the photo.

Alan - got your email, and can see this post - are you still blocked?  Email me privately and I'll try to sort it with Dawn.

Text but no attachments! It blocks me each time.

Suspect the file was too big.  There are limits on the site.

Possibly Robert, I’ll take it into Photoshop later and reduce it. A message to confirm that would be better than ‘I’ve been blocked’.

This is the Seago version. Very understated as was Turner's.

Your painting looks very good John. It must be really difficult to give the illusion of a rainbow in a painting. That's the first time I've seen that particular painting by Seago, I think it's stunning.

Glad we resolved that one!  Those are two lovely paintings - I always wonder when seeing a JMW Turner watercolour if the colours we see today are much like those he laid down: do you think he used vermillion for the red?  (And was it an oil sketch, rather than watercolour - may well be.) The Seago oil will still be true to its original conception, and I love it: the use of a strong red, probably Cadmium, in the lower right of the canvas picks up the warmth of the rainbow - which is indicated by a broad sweep of the brush and probably not much tickled about with. It suddenly occurs to me that - so far as I remember - in 50 years or more of painting I've never yet tackled a rainbow ... now there's a project for the jaded, eh?

 Vermillion, Rose Madder, Carmine we’re all on his palette. It’s a watercolour on grey paper!
