I've done a fair few demo's over the years but they don't always turn out great, this one has though, really impressive piece Barry.

Thank you Alan, Steve told me later that he had already painted from the photo but didn't think to give me a glimpse, probably just as well!!!

Very atmospheric Barry. A lovely painting

Thank you very much David.

Yes, You seem to have done "OK"...

Beautiful demo, Barry, great result.

A tremendous result Barry!

Thank Skylar, Cesare and Fiona for your comments.

I'd have been happy to sit there watching this demo.

Ooo yes, this ticks all the boxes for me. Wonderfully moody.

Nice work Barry.Great atmosphere as is customary in your paintings.I really like the way you have simplified the docks in the distance.

Nice work again Barry , simple and effective composition.

Thank you Brian, Rebecca, Peter and Dennis I appreciate your comments.

You are working brilliant Barry

Thank you Dermot and Karen.

This worked out very well - fresh, lovely light and interesting

Thank you very much Maureen.

When I got there he said the subject was ports and harbours and this was taken from an old photo. Having no time to think about I just grabbed the bull by the horns and went for it. I had never used an overhead camera system before as well as be fairly inexperienced in teaching and feel I did ok.
