Superb work Alan so skilful done .

Excellent work Alan.

Master strokes at play here Alan such simplicity yet a hive of activity.

Super work Alan, I love the boats and the economy of the background washes.

Lovely with those washes and colours.

Always wonderful, Alan!

Another masterly sketch Alan.

Emmm I like this alot. Very Alan style 🥰

Very atmospheric!

So simple but so effective with lovely loose washes wet into wet, you have cleverly placed the detailed marks but still kept in a loose style! A wonderful piece of art! 👌🙏

Do like the composition Alan, and the vague background. Those colours are grab me, could I ask what make they are?

Thanks guys appreciated… Carole, W&N Artists quality half pan field set… lovely quality and so much better than the Cotman range if you’re after intense pigment.

Great imagination! Excellent art

Love those barges Alan

Some lovely tones and great detail Alan.

Love the abstract, ghostly feeling of the buildings against the detailed boats. Beautiful.
