My impression, so no great degree of accuracy!

Another excellent one Alan, you’re definitely on a run!

Really like your pallet Alan very atmospheric.

Another really evocative picture. I never associated Wisbech with Thames Barges, thanks for the enlightenment.

I am really liking these watercolours on the toned paper. lovely stuff!

Thanks guys - yes there used to be barges but not sure about these days, the tributaries do eventually run into the sea.

Excellent work Alan I know Wisbech quite live as I live in the area years ago , this is very evocative of the way it used to be . I have seen a couple of barges there in the past and quite a few coastal cargo ships . Like the colours you have use on this one.

Lovely work Alan.

Great work Alan.

Really like these sketches, sense of freedom in them.

Tremendous Alan

Such a harmonious scene Alan.

Love the light falling on the buildings and the wonderful depth and distance you create Alan.

Excellent as always Alan

Always interesting Alan, they are so eye catching.

Always really good Alan

Another skilful but loose sketch, keep them coming! 👍👌🙏

You do beautiful work and this is no exception.
