Thanks Karen and Dennis, exciting times for me I hope the knowledge I have soaked up can be converted into good results. Sorry to disappoint Karen but I have been signing in red long before meeting Alvaro.

I thought it was blood after the intensity of the course Barry

Your excitement comes over in your painting Barry, and I love your new interpretation. Look forward seeing where it takes you!

Excellent stuff Barry, two weeks obviously well spent. Simplifying a view is often the hardest of things to do but success is often a result of what is left out as well as what is put in. The effect here is brilliant.

I have to check out this place this summer, although I doubt I'll end up with anything close to this masterpiece. It looks effortless but I bet it was intense.

Love, love, love it. Old sailing barge and brilliant light and shade play and a casual confident air about it all. Fantastic Barry.

Fabulous work, Barry. The strong sunshine is beautifully depicted and contrasts very well with the misty backdrop.

I am amazed by how much he leaves out I thought I was pretty good at simplification but he takes it to a new level. Have enjoyed two great weeks at Dedham Hall and am now all fired up and hope to produce some good work in the coming weeks.
