Sketch for a possible painting.

Comments

Really caught my eye, I’d be happy with that as a finished painting!

This is so nice it’s a complete painting in on its own.

Birds in flight ! Good subject and yes it's very good as it is.

I think it is great is it is but am looking forward to the oil version anyway, Linda.

Thanks Katy, Paul, Richard and Mia, your comments are always welcome 😀

Ooooo Gannets, one of my favourite sea birds. Would look fabulous in oils Linda, but I like this version with or without the Gannets. You could do two versions in oils? Or would that be an oil too far! May I say, I would be tempted to take out one of the three Gannets in the foreground but not the lead Gannet, he looks fabulous! Whatever you choose to do, it will be great and accomplished.

This is smashing Linda

Thanks for your input Fiona, thinking the whole composition through at the moment, wasn't happy with that gull that looks like an aeroplane lol. Thank you Romila and Heather for your encouragement.

Full of movement, exciting and love the colours and splattering.

Thanks Carole.

A lovely piece that captures movement, atmosphere and immediacy.

Thank you Seok, I really appreciate your comments 😀

Wonderful. Love the composition.

The Northumbrian coast line was my initial painting in mind. Thought that it might make an interesting painting in oils with some Gannets added, so this is my preliminary sketch. Thoughts and comments always appreciated.
