Summer colours - after Matisse by David Page

There are one or two issues with this, but you know that I think - it still works very well and has a great impact, with the hot colours you've used. I admit to being unconvinced by the clouds, and think there may be perhaps rather too much blue water, although at the same time I like the recession you've achieved in it. I know some don't like criticism, but then I never see any point in posting anything if you're not prepared for an opinion: you just hope it's not a daft one.... I hope this one wasn't. Keep going with the acrylics, you have a feel for them: and you were lucky to get a tuition session with Terry Harrison - sadly, no longer an option.

I like the warm colours and can forgive the green clouds, but the foreground seems out of place. Having said that l would be pleased to turn out something as good as this.

Thanks for your comments guys.
