That is very sweet, and does remind me of Shanklin. I remember doing a painting holiday there once, up on the cliffs. Very nice.

You’ve handled a very complicated scene well here David, with some lovely perspectives.

Judging by your painting this is a very pretty place to see. Lovely colours and I like how the tree frames the painting.

Thank you all for your kind comments, yes the I.O.W. is a very wonderful place and certainly has some wonderful villages and scenes for painting

Lovely little sketch David, if my memory serves me correct, I think it's Godshill, a most gorgeous little village.

Thank you Teresa and Alan, This is actually old Shanklin from a photo I took a while back. It is very picturesque and very much like Godshill, but as you pass through this area it has gradually expanded unfortunately, Sign of the times I suppose.
