Fabulous clouds Bri! Lovely.

Would love to see this in reality as it must be so calming to look at Brian. The boat on the right gives the clouds terrific scale and interest to this lovely painting.

Amazing sky, Brian

Thank you very much, Dennis, Margaret, Carole and Ronald, for dropping in to offer your thoughts. Much appreciated. It was the cloud that first attracted me to the image so I gave it a bash. *smile* It's a tad grainy (shame) and somewhat stylised in appearance but I was going for something a bit different for me, you know, branching out. lol. I'll try for a better photo later today if I can. Best to all and thanks once again Bri

Yes Brian, top work from you as always. Definitely not a 30 minute job like my efforts, pure quality!

Great one Brian!

Thank you very much, Alan and Heather, for the kind and supportive comments. Much appreciated. It took me two sessions of about 1 1/2 hours, Alan, which is quick for me. I marked in the horizon then went for it. Best to both Bri

Marvelous work. It's interesting how other people 'see' a subject, I could never envisage this. It works perfectly. Excellent.

Thank you very much, Lew, for the great comments. Always appreciated. I'm absolutely delighted you liked this one, because I just never know. I keep saying that but it's true. Bri

Very nice work on those storm clouds Brian, love your sea paintings. I too love to paint the sea, it is so alive and so quick to change from day to day, or evening morning to evening. It has many moods which make it a wonderful subject. Keep up the good work, you are way past that A level in art and doing wonderful work.

Paul! I'm SO sorry for missing these comments. I believed the painting to be out of sight and have been busy moderating a poetry site I help to run. That and other things, of course. *smile* Your comments are very encouraging and I really do appreciate the kind support. The sea is, and always will be, very special to me, probably because I was brought up by the coast and missed it like mad when I moved away for uni etc. I still return several times a year and always find myself wandering around the clifftops and beaches, looking for something to paint or draw.
