Excellent work Alan, my first though when I looked was it has a Turner look ,not surprisingly as you are studying his techniques at the moment.

Very Turneresque Alan. I admire your restraint in not fiddling with the very loose style

Very Turner, very atmospheric Alan.

Wonderfully atmospheric Alan, beautifully minimalist.

Lovely work! Your style ties in with whole 'classical' feel of the subject - I like it!

Love the lack of detail and the overall harmony of your painting Alan.

I love using a limited palette. This has a feeling of freedom and peacefulness, and has a touch of, dare I say it, abstraction. Love it, Alan.
