Love the way you have painted the sea, leaving the imagination to find sailing boats or swimmers or crashing waves.

Great boatscape Alan. Like the plain foreground colours of the boata and bulwarks.

Love the lively brushwork Alan.

Good brush marks Alan, beautiful tones and contrasts. Love that pinkish glimmer in the sky and beach.

I can smell the salty air Alan. Wonderful seascape which transports one to that magical place.

Fantastic Alan! What a beautiful scene and so skilfully painted, love the pastel palette too.

Like the palette here, Alan - and the reflections.

This is the technique in oils I am looking for. Impressionistic, with a luscious use of paint and colour. If this doesn't sell like a hot bun, I'll be most surprised. I first saw such barges on the Orwell way back in the fifties. Loved them then; love them now. Lovely work Alan. Congratulations. John

Who would think of using pink on a seascape! Well you would Alan and of course it works wonderfully. You show us how much closer we should observe and how paint can look. Lovely painting.

A pair of spritsail barges waiting for high tide. These are such attractive vessels to paint, even facing head on with their tall masts and a hint of sail showing. A simple composition from imagination. Oil on Jackson’s canvas/MDF board 40 x 50cm
