Speedboats by Carole Russell

Lovely painting. The sea is really great and I really liked the foreground.

Carole, an excellent painting once again. I can't fault you rocks and perspective. Very well done. For me the man is very good proportion for the painting, however, the boy I feel should be narrower at the hip and legs - head a little smaller maybe! Otherwise great. Keep the people in I love it.

Thanks Lorraine, I thought the foreground may be a bit cluttered but i think I get away with it.

Hi Jeannette thank you for your comments, so glad you like it. I am a bit confused tho. The people are a couple - girl to the left with long hair tied back & boyfriend to the right - which one do you think I need to work on?

Carole I see it now - to the left I thought was a little boy. I know what it is I cannot see her shoulders to well. Maybe that's what it is. Just shows you how the eyes can deceive. PS It is the hair she is not coming in at the neck like the man (I know she has a ponytail.) I still love it. PPS I have been inspecting your grasses. They are so lovely - just great. Best wishes Jeannette x

Thanks Jeannette. Yes- sometimes you paint but don't realise what others see. I'll try adjusting her a bit. Thank you for all your kind words.

Thanks Carole for your comments. I do like this picture, so colourful and a great feeling of summer. Wow !
