Hi Andrew. I think the colour choices and the way you've painted the rushing water is very good.

Absolutely stunning. The colours you have used Andy, seem to show the movement of the water. You can almost hear the water as it gushes downstream, over the rocks. Well done Andy. Not much needed as less is better in this painting. 🤗❤️🌹xxx

I don’t think you need to improve on this at all Andrew. Water is clearly your forte and this is so powerfully fluid and delightful.

Wow, Andrew, I like the way it is. Great!

A dramatic movement of water, good colour choice. Maybe a touch darker in the foreground to give a little more depth, but I do like it as it is.

Thank you, everyone, who has responded to my draft painting; the consensus seems to be that it's fine already but maybe a little darker for the foreground, which I agree with. I'll post the finished artwork later this week. Enjoy today my art-loving friends; love and God bless xx

I’ve always loved water, its movement, its colour, its power. I had the privilege of working as a hydrologist for nine years before ordination, necessarily but enjoyably observing the movement of water in full flow or even in floods. That was thirty years ago but my love for moving water has not…
