Lovely painting Christopher, I am sure the bride and groom will be very happy with it.

I certainly like it - I'd be delighted to be presented with a gift like this, it's just a pity I'd have to get married first! Seriously - this is a good painting, neither too tight nor, given the subject, too loose; and the freshness of the colours makes it suitably cheerful given the occasion on which it's to be presented.

Like it too. Great, fresh and colourful scene.

I like it very much too, Christopher. You've tackled a complex scene with skill and the colours are so lively and fresh. I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated by the happy couple.

It's a lovely painting, and I'm sure it'll be very appreciated by the lucky couple. I especially love the clear washes and the sunny palette.

I reiterate everything that has been said, a lovely summery scene.

This is the first in a set of two Watercolours of Whitby commissioned for a Wedding present. It is actually on Bockingford 200lb for a change and I quite liked the paper. Shall be using it for the other now. The actual painting is 10" X 14" and will be double mounted. Hope some of you like it??
