Messing about in boats!! by David Stevens

Comments

This is excellent David.

A lovely scene, David, well painted. Such a shame you didn't shortlisted.

One of your finest David and well worth a revisit.

Thank you Stephen, Linda, Chris and Cairistiona for your very kind comments.

Lovely, David - I especially like the foreground boat!

Great picture David, especially the foreground boat

Good oldie David

This is really good David.

Thank you Anne, Trevor, Heather and Lewis for your kind remarks - much appreciated!

Disappointing for you David. Well painted it certainly is… perhaps the left boat wasn’t needed and I would have had the trawlers more side by side, overlapping perhaps! Don’t give up trying though, you’re a good painter!

Excellent David.

It’s a good marine painting , the boat in the foreground is superb and really well drawn . I agree with Alan, bit of artistic licence and move the two trawlers to overlap would create a very different scene .

Lovely image David perhaps the trawlers do look a bit regimental but brilliant painting nonetheless.

Thank you Alan and Paul for your very sound advice! Thanks also to Carol and Denise for your kind words, too! As an amateur I enjoy my sketching and painting and have given up worrying about competitions.

This is really good, David

A superb oldie David! Your boats are excellent.

An oldie I came across this afternoon! Submitted it in last year's TALP competition but never got short listed.
