Lovely work Alan. This could be on the Orwell I guess! Hard to believe it is 65 years since I was at Pin Mill! Happy Days. John

Turner comes to mind, brilliant soft translucent light in this one Alan.

Beautiful, Alan - rather Turneresque was my thought too.

Such a joy to see another lovely painting emanating the old Dutch masters. I particularly admire the blaze of light, right of the large ship.

Oil on Jackson’s canvas/MDF board 40 x 50cm. An imaginary composition based on one of my favourite subjects, namely these wonderfully paintable spritsail barges - this small group are at anchor in the early morning light.
