Spanish Coastal Town.

Immediately recognisable as your work Alan. In Spain at the moment and it is unbearably hot. Your painting oozes heat and beauty, with that lovely strip of Mediterranean Sea.

Thanks Carol, glad you like it. I’m off again shortly all being well, enjoy the sunshine!

Lovely composition Alan, and you’ve brought up sunshine on a dull day here! I really like the contrasting trees which balance the painting so well.

Once again a painting with a great deal of skill and colour.

Agree with Tessa’s comment, Alan, especially the trees which provide a lovely contrast.

Heat, haze, sun and colour. It's all there, Alan. I love how you develop the feel of a place. It's as if I was there. Bri

Many thanks Jennifer and Shaun.

Your usual lovely colours and scene Alan. Just getting to terms with this new site, searched you by artist, what's happened to all your lovely 2019 paintings? Apart from this beauty the ones produced by the search are all from several years ago.

Oil on MDF 20 x 20in. Continuing the Spanish series that I’ve been working on for some time now, using reference material from one of my recent trips.
