I know exactly what you mean Alan - I get the same rush with my abstracts which I don't get with more traditional slow slog work - so exciting and and almost always a great result as you have here - also I find these so much more exciting to look at in the gallery - this is great do post more.

5 minutes! Alan, now I'm truly envious! That is one amazing piece, full of impact, as you say, but so well composed and beautifully executed that one would never guess it wasn't a planned piece. Excellent, excellent work indeed!

A lot of energy has gone into this Alan...love the limited palette of strong dark colours, and touch of white.

Vibrant with energy and beautifully painted Alan.

11 x 15'' Five-minute plein air watercolour sketch on Ruscombe Mill paper, a view just a minute's walk from my house. These quick style of sketches have always been my favourite, maximum impact with no detail and no hard slog, just pure delight, and of course, the rush of adrenelin you get with rapid watercolour.
