Again this has life about it, being painted on the spot, nice simple, soft sky, shows off the buildings well.

Lovely scene Chris and you are right, it is a nice little corner, works great as a watercolour, love they sky and the way you picked up the sky colour in some of the buildings

A lovely scene, with great light and atmosphere.

I am sure it would not have looked so good as a photograph. Your watercolour gives it atmosphere.

I like it very much, and your telegraph pole is fine! Restrained and confident use of colour, lively and a wish-I-was-there feeling.

Great painting with a real sense of immediacy. Great colour palette and I think any mistakes (not that I see any here) just add to the character of a painting, so I wouldn't worry about them.

A bit of a sketchy type picture, of a nice little corner found on the front at Leigh on Sea. I only used one brush for the picture (a number 14 nyoln) hence the enormously stout telegraph pole on the right which I mucked up so wonderfully! Arches 90lb rough.
