Another lovely painting Barry.

Thank you Linda.

Beautiful watercolor reflections framing and portraing the scene

Lovely impressionistic rendering of the subject Barry.You are developing a really great style which shows in all your paintings.

Thank you Mustafa and Peter for your comments they are much appreciated.

I think this is perfect, Barry. The darks that you have created in the distant trees, and foreground riverbank straggly grasses, and random posts, are just right. And your soft yet quietly rich palette is super. Another gorgeous watercolour!

Thank you Ann and Margaret for your lovely comments.

Another beautiful scene very well painted, Barry. Beautiful washes and fresh watercolour.

Love the area on the left with the orange and purples Barry, the whole painting is sublime.

Thank you Cesare and Fiona for your lovely comments.

Very nice Barry, the background has a David Bellamy feel to it.

Thank you Stephen, but I don't think I am precise enough for David Bellamy.

Lovely painting Barry, palette muted but attractive

Much appreciated Marty, thank you.

Great work again.

Very attractive painting Barry.

Thank you Gudrun and Carole I appreciate your comments.

Lovely tranquil scene, with beautiful transition of washes. Super work, Barry.

It has that Barry effect. Brilliant!

Continuing the theme another river scene. Altered my palette slightly and ended up with a slightly softer feel to this painting. I have resisted the temptation to go in with stronger darks which would be my usual course of action. Painted on Bockingford 200llb extra rough half imperial watercolour paper.

I started painting in 2004, I am influenced by Wesson, Seago and many of the great masters, more recently I enjoy the work of Steve Hall, John Hoar and Alvaro Castignet to name but a few. I paint in a loose style and try to simplify as I can. The medium I enjoy most is watercolour but dabble with…
