The lighthouse on Coquet Island

Beautifully done David. I remember our boat getting quite close to the island, the bird life was wonderful.

Another good one David I like the balance of blue in the sky matching the blue sea. Bit disappointed no boat😊 only joking of course.

Excellent David.

Thank you Denise and Chris for your kind comments! I thought about including a boat in the foreground and then thought it may detract from the remainder of the painting!

Lovely watercolour David. The bird colony has suffered greatly from bird flu in recent months, we are all hoping for better times.

Another lovely painting David

Thank you Faye, Anne, Marjorie and Judith for your kind comments. That is sad news about bird flu, Marjorie. My wife and I had a wonderful trip to the island last year to see the puffins and other bird life!

This is at the bottom of my street David and has always fascinated me, as the scene constantly changes, according to light and weather. This is one of the best paintings I have seen of Coquet Island because the detailing is perfectly balanced. The foreground and sea are just beautiful.
