Out of diversity comes forth strength and this is really good example - it has a great 'feel' to it

Despite the problems, it's a very good painting, I like the subdued palette

your story and painting are great ,.I love them both .

You deserve the watercolour artists bravery medal I think I would have gone home with a couple of pics! It also explains why it does not have your usual bright lighting. Good effort though, despite the elements.

This is really a painting with an amazing story. Beautiful landscape and I love your colour scheme.

There's a slightly Victorian feel to this - (not an insult!). I would never have guessed you painted it in such trying circumstances. It's ... dignified, I think is the word I want; traditional ... and I'd have assumed it was painted off-scene, on the basis of careful drawings. But - it wasn't, was it?! I'm slightly confused by the very strong shadow from the eaves of the central building - can't quite "read" it, as it looks stronger than the shadow cast by larger structures, eg the buildings and chimney on the left - it gives me the impression that you were struggling with constantly changing light, as you probably were. However, as I'd have given up and gone home the second time my easel blew over, I'm just being picky....

Your quite right Robert I noticed the shadows strength straight away but did not really want to play about with it afterwards as I guessed the painting would be ruined by the end of the painting session anyhow! I felt I would just leave it as it was first brushed on which is what I try to do most of the time. Many thanks for taking the time to look at the painting. Best regards Chris
