Wow, Derek! This is one is really fabulous - so much of interest to see, full of energy and light.

Thanks Seok, it's the largest so far in this style and I practised a few bits, like masking fluid under thin and thick acrylic, but then never needed to use it.

Seok has said it all Derek, a fantastic painting.

Well Derek, what can I add to this, nothing is the answer, it's a beauty.

Lots of movement and colour - I love Alvaro's watercolours - the reds and the darks are brilliant on his and als on your painting.

Lots of activity ann lively lines here Derek. I did by the mag last week but haven't read it yet, often do that! Must look at his version, he's a very exciting painter isn't he.

38 x 26cma on paper. Saw his feature in The Artist mag and fancied my credit card treatment and hope he doesn't mind. No copied, just the scene, some colours but having been there during a trip to the Cinque Terra, I didn't visit this village and sketch it.

About the Artist

Derek Snowdon

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
