That's really top-notch work Barry.

Thank you Jim but when you see Alvaro's work it has another dimension.

This is really good. I would not have thought of putting watercolour with charcoal, but it really works well.

Thank you Linda, sorry I have mislead you he did a charcoal sketch and then used it as a source for his watercolour.

Heck Barry I'm even more envious now if Alvaro approves it's got to be good and it's a cracker

It looks really good Barry.

More than a reasonable effort I would say! I think it is first class.

Thank you to everyone for the very encouraging commments I will probably paint it again when I get home having learnt a few valuable lessons.

Okay, wishing I'd stayed now ;). This is really fantastic Barry

It's lovely, Barry. There's loads of atmosphere and beautiful light, and the style is inimitably yours.

Thanks Karen, you would have enjoyed his demos!!!

Thanks Maureen, Adele and Seok, for your lovely comments.

I think it is great Barry, lovely light from the window.

Thank you Carole much appreciated.
