Those silhouettes really tell a story .

Love the silhouette and the colour in the sky, Carole.

Great and somewhat poignant image Carole, nice work.

Yes strong silhouettes Carole. Great sparkle on the water as well.

Caught the eye - like it, is this in oils ?

Thank you Diana, Katy, Alan, John, Romila and Mike for your generous comments. Your support is always appreciated. Yes it’s in oils Mike. Seemed to have missed putting the information. It’s 14” x 16” oil on board.

I like this, Carole. Very natural poses for the people, and a great evening glow.

Really interesting painting - good one Carole

Not sure if you were aiming for this, Carole, but the darkness of the images and silhouettes suggests the dangers of easing lockdown too soon; powerful! Love the reflections off the sea too! Love and God bless, Andy xx

Many thanks Lewis, Heather and Andy for taking the time and effort to leave such positive comments. Regarding your comment Andy, the reason the figures were silhouetted was that I wanted to emphasise the generality of the scene and thought the lack of anonymity would help to make this scene commonplace.
