You can't win them all

Do not agree with you about your boat and fisherman, Chris - think they definitely enhance the painting. Once again, your style of painting, which is really unique to you, continues to impress and delight your friends on this site!

We're all hyper-critical Chris, that just shows we're trying. Others see things differently. I like your fisherman, in that simple shape you have the pose just right.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I particularly like the fisherman!

Am liking this Chris, and agree the boat and fisherman add to the scene

Looks great Chris.

I love the way the fisherman's being pulled out the picture!

Thank you one and all for taking the time to post your very encouraging comments. I suppose being self critical with our work when you know you could do better. Is part and parcel of trying to improve. Thank you my lovely people.

Really like your style Chris

A wonderful confection of lovely textures and eye-catching hues. And your boat and fisherman are super and anchor the painting so well - definitely not a disaster. Lovely work, Chris!

A really good painting, I love the bright colours you’ve used, makes the painting much more interesting.

I really like your style here. The fisherman and boat look great to me.
