Like the colours and marks, and the red figures.

Lovely, Alan. Wish I was there.

Yes !the colours and the figures.

That's a gorgeous blue you have there, Alan, and complemented by the subtle beach and figure colours. Great sunny scene!

I’m making an assumption Alan that it was a very bright day... purely on your cliff colours... knowing the Welsh coast line usually ochre and browns and greys . So as I said an assumption. It’s ages since I was in Abersoch...as you have shown it is a lovely place.

The colours in the rocks and sand are wonderful. I wish I was there now.

Sumptuous colours Alan, adding the touch of red on the figures looks great.

Thanks everyone, yes, I wish I was there also. My camera doesn't seem to be picking up subtle variations in colour as it should, I'll have another go at it shortly. Sylvia, obviously I am sat in my studio working on the colour choices, I was looking for strong contrasting colours to give impact, not the mundane accurate but often boring colours we see in reality. I don't care too much for reality!

No I know you don’t Alan...lol. I am a bit of a pedant. I still love the pic.

You have certainly created the feeling of being high up on those cliffs Alan with the small figures on the beach.

I especially like the figures Alan, brilliant touch.

A lovely view Alan, lovely colours and the figures add interest

I’m loving the green in your latest works Al, they look so right with the pink of the sand.

20 x 40cm oil on board. Something worked up this morning from my sketchbook, it doesn't get any more simple than this! A great day to go out painting, but I'm having a bit of a break from plein-air stuff for a while.
