Dramatic...... Spontaneous and very appealing. This is a beauty Alan.

This is different - love the colours and mark making - and the white areas keep it so clean and fresh looking.

Full of spontaneity and energy Alan.

Cheers guys… much appreciated! I didn’t expect this style to be of much interest on this site, I wasn’t wrong!

Very much like this Alan - spontaneous, fresh and full of energy

I agree with Fiona - this is a refreshing addition to this sight - please paint more like this Alan.

Now I like this! I like the colours and the impressionistic feel, it has a dynamism about it.

This is great Alan- such unusual colour choices and energy.

Most dramatic Alan.

It leapt out at me, Alan. Difficult to describe why I like it so much. It's right on that boundary I love where I see a landscape but it's almost abstract. Such lively marks and skilled use of the white of the paper too.

Beautiful 😍

This is a painting I wish I’d painted myself. It’s so spontaneous and would look great in a frame.

I like the richness of this Alan, and it looks like you enjoyed painting it.

Something a bit more expressive and impressionistic than my recent posts - rapid plein air acrylic ink sketch, some white gouache to dilute the ink, black charcoal pencil scribbles.
