It's really good Alan and all those white highlights work extremely well

I'd decided on my comment, Alan, before I read yours: beautifully economical. You're right to stop; less is more.

Excellent work Alan.

You’ve signed it Alan, so it’s finished! Wonderful work

Posted by Frank Bingley on Fri 02 May 16:45:32

You could certainly call it finished, but - I wonder if you will; I've often returned to things because they're just wrong; well there's nothing wrong with this, but of course you could refine it if you chose to. Far be it from me to seek to advise you - but, if it's of any use at all, I think this works as it stands.

Much appreciated thank you, I’ve considered this complete!

Beautiful colours, glad you are considering it finished.

I like this a lot Alan, I'd call it completed.

Turner's 'Fighting Temeraire' came to mind when I saw this. Nice work Alan

Wonderful work!

Superb artwork Alan and as others have said it’s full of atmosphere and the colours are sublime, just enough detail and leaving the viewer to work out the rest. I’m truly envious as I would love to try oils again but the fumes and drying time are a bit frustrating? SUPERB!!!!!!!🙏

I’ll probably call this finished, before I start fiddling and adding detail. I don’t want detail in this piece, I’m after a loose atmospheric impression. Oil on board 40 x 50cm.
