No bathing by Derek Snowdon

It is on a highly gesso textured board I think I put by for other stuff.

I like this loads, Derek. That squally tossing sea is excellent.

Cheers Seok. it was a quicky yesterday on that board I had spare.

Big brush working well Derek great piece

Lovely atmospheric and feels blustery Derek very nice.

Wow, look at that texture, I love the gesso brush marks showing through Derek.

Big and expressive Derek, lovely work.

No brush apart from applying the gesso many months ago, thanks dennis's, Fiona, Alan.

Oh the texture in the gesso nice

Wow, love the sky. The painting split into thirds of varying textures and tones. Really dramatic effect.

Great textures and excellent sense of movement Derek .....<br />Thanks for the comment on my farmhouses painting and I&#39;m delighted you spotted my little compositional ploy with the chimney smoke and cloud leading the eye , it&#39;s a blast planning these little things into a painting

Thanks Andre, I did actually plan the split, unusual for me, I usually bash straight in.<br />Yes Dermot cheers it works well and we are told to use these tricks aren&#39;t we?
