Not vague and wishy washy at all, Chris. It caught my eye when I was looking through the gallery. It has a nice focal point and good aerial perspective. Your paintings have, of course, become stronger, but I would have been very happy if this had been my first piece.

yes. The temptation to discard early attempts can be overwhelming but that you decided to keep this one serves as a good reference point of not only how far you've come but also the level at which you started, which was very high. Good composition but the handling of the paint has really come on! well done.

I prefer your later, stronger work but what a good start!

One of my favourite places. You have captured the atmosphere well.

One of my first watercolours I had forgotten about which I had given to my Mother. I felt then that my paintings were a bit weak and wishy washy, so I changed my style a bit
