A tricky perspective for sure but challenge well met

Signed sealed and delivered Alan with your usual standard as far as I can see?

It is an interesting angle Alan and I like it very much.

Like yourself Alan I to love boats and the challenge they set us, this is an extremely difficult angle to portray, it’s certainly challenging you and it’s been beautifully met .

Thanks guys, not sure about this one but appreciate your support…

I like the sloping horizon and unusual view - works well.

I like the unusual composition and it certainly demands attention because of its skilful execution Alan.

It was the angle that caught my eye too.

It seems we all like the angle here Alan - it makes it different and stands out.

And I like the angle too Alan!

Never mind the boat Alan, for me, what makes this artwork is the lovely way you’ve treated the horizon and how you’ve left a large portion of the calm water blank, crating the illusion of shine.

I love the boats Alan it's a well handled view of the barge but Personally I would have prefered the horizon to be horizotal, just my opinion. Never the less another excellent sketch.

Thanks again guys, I’m inclined to agree with you George…

Love the unusual angle Alan - really effective composition.

Moored barge or could be a trawler , taken from a TV shot. Different angle which interested me as a challenge - not quite worked out as planned but posting it nonetheless!
