Just wonderful Alan, love this oil painting and the little detail of the white sails that pull your eyes through into the far distance, magical.

Superb painting Alan , one of my favourite subjects as you know and it’s always a treat to see one done so well.

Stunning, love it.

Very nicely done Alan.

Very striking Alan. I do like the dark tones of the barge and pier-also the little bursts of colour.

Oh, what a beauty this is!

Would like to sit on that jetty and just breathe..

Fantastic Alan. Has that ethereal atmosphere. A modern JMW Turner.

Dare I say it - one of your very best in my humble opinion Alan, brilliant painting.

Fantastic work Alan.

Wow! Thanks guys… all positive comments!

Superb eye catching Love it

That's made an excellent painting Alan.

This really has the wow factor Alan. So admire the misty, ethereal, background and those boats with such limited detail.

Superb, reminds me of Turner's 'Chain link pier'

This is beautiful Alan, so atmospheric and those touches of Orange on the sails lead the eye to the distance - Great painting.

Love this Alan, superb painting

This is so very atmospheric, Alan. Great scenery and a super painting!

You've got to know your subject inside out before you can employ the imagination fully, and you quite obviously do. I can see this on my wall, but it deserves a better home and setting than I could offer it. The light here is perfectly caught.

Super painting Alan. A lovely ethereal quality to it..

It’s immediately noticeable that this subject is close to your heart as a favourite…..you do these nautical scenes so well. You capture the ambience of the place and subject for us to experience.

Lovely! Bit Turneresque but also reminds me of Whistler.

Great atmosphere Alan.

Really good composition - I like the way the centre ground is almost the ghost of those buildings.

A cracker Alan. I love the 'quietness' of the sky and sea against the busier barges and harbour.

A lovely Turneresque painting.

This is so beautiful a lovely atmosphere of sunlight breaking through the mist.

Stunning painting, love it, especially the way the suggestion of white sails takes your eye through into the light.

Thanks again guys! I spent some considerable time trying to get that early morning misty atmosphere… glad you like it!

Beautiful, very atmospheric.

Just lovely Alan. Atmospheric and superb lights and darks

This is really lovely Alan. Very atmospheric and the foreground is really detailed.

Oh Alan you done it again. Beautiful 😍 I bet it was real fun from imagination 😉

The light in this is lovely.

Beautiful!

What a wonderful atmospheric painting.

So atmospheric Alan - beautiful.

Fabulous painting Alan.
