Last Rays of the Day

Very nice Barry it doesn't look overworked at all but on that subject of overworking paintings , isn't it so difficult to know when enough is enough I have messed up many paintings over the years through adding more and more detail , I still do it now.

There's a lot of interest in this and a great light

Nice work Barry. A well caught scene.

Thank you Dennis, I know exactly what you mean I also have messed up my fair share. I am reminded of Joseph Zbukvic on one of his DVDs saying the phrase “i’ll just do this “ is usually a warning sign as it can be followed by disaster.

Thank you Annie and Jim for your comments.

Lovely painting Barry. The light in the archway draws you in.

Lovely palette, Barry and lots to draw you in.

Thank you Brian i wasn’t sure about putting the archway in but it does seem to have worked.

Thank you Jennifer I do wonder if perhaps there is too much to draw you in and think I would simplify things if I did it again.

Beautifully painted Barry. lovely harbour scene

Colourful scene, the shadow at top balances the painting nicely

Works for me Barry

Thank you David, Carole and Dennis, your comments help and it’s growing on me but will probably have another go as I have a few ideas I want to try out.

Super composition Barry, I really like this!

Thank you Carolyn your comments are very much appreciated.

Nice painting Barry
