The Lookout

Comments

Superb Brian, love the gracefulness of the bird's wings against the mist on the water. The apparition of a boat just discernible, a calming and serene painting.

Perfect result Brian. Nothing more need be said.

Sublime Brian. Your paintings have a otherworldly feel, like looking through a veil to another space.

A masterpiece in my opinion Brian

It’s like I’m sat there looking at this, when a picture draws you in like that, it’s good

This is wonderful, what beautiful colours

Wow! Thanks everyone. Nearly fell of my chair when I read these replies. *smile* Thanks, Carole, the bird was the final addition, that and an extra glaze of mist. Thanks, Jim, for the very generous comment. Thanks, Fiona, for the "otherworldy" comment. Made my day, it did. I thought I'd just say again that I admired your pastel and watercolour painting very much. Thanks again for your kind contribution. Thank you, Russel, for your "opinion". *Smile* You could have knocked me down with a feather. Thanks for the lovely and warming comment, Deborah. Appreciated. Thanks for comments, Annie. Really pleased you liked the colours. I'm in two minds whether to add another glaze or not. Thanks again to all Best Brian

Thanks, Margaret, for the generous comments. I HAVE got it hanging on my wall *smile*, it's behind me as I write this reply, hanging on the kitchen-diner wall. I'm so pleased you like this one. Best Brian

This is an oil on canvas 60 x 50cms, which is large for me. I've gone for a simple image and wondered if the simplicity is lacking due to the size of the canvas.
