Beautifully atmospheric Alan.

Alan this is so good , it’s by far the best you have produced for some time . It would look good on any wall, your choice of pallet is superb for this scene , so much to see in there .

The atmosphere in this is excellent. The tones, colours and subject are outstanding Alan.

A truly beautiful oil painting, full of atmosphere and the use of white so strategically employed

Excellent, very evocative of a past time.

I love this Alan. A great Turneresque feel to it and super atmosphere and light.

Who else among us could have painted this? The colour is beautifully judged, the edges bleed and fade, there are areas of just pure colour without mark or detail, crisp touches of light, accurately applied.... Makes yer want to bin yer brushes!
