I have painted this scene Barry, it was done in 1999 and hangs in the lounge, its one of my husbands favourites. Time hasn't altered Staithes at all and you have captured it brilliantly.

This is really good Barry. Beautiful watercolour.

Many thanks Timothy, John, Linda and Peter for your comments. As you say Linda a timeless scene that you never tire of looking at.

If I Romberg correctly I put the post in to give a reflection to help indicate the water and only realised that it doubled as a mast after committing the act.

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…
