Nice work Derek. An inreresting view. What exactly is "Paul's Challenge"?

Thank you Lynne. Jim I assume you don't get The Artist magazine. This month on P31 Paul Talbot-Greaves issues a challenge to readers to paint in their own way and submit to the editor of POL.

Thanks Derek. No, I don't get the magazine.

Your colour choice is good Derek. I recognise the scene now that you've pointed it out and it isn't a copy, you've made it your own.

You've definitely made it your own, really like this.

I like your take on Paul's challenge Derek, the stronger palette creates a totally different atmosphere.

Its a very strong composition, Derek and the colours support it. A great painting.

Great choice of colours Derek and they are a perfect foil for each other.

Not intending to copy. From The Artist magazine I liked the composition but worked with colours of my choice and created a different atmosphere, fancying a dark blue sky which is Prussian Blue with a slight touch of Cobalt. I introduced more green and chose Phthalo Green. Also in there is Cad Orange, Burnt Umber and Raw Sienna.The white is W&N Galleria 140lb paper which is usual for me, size 35 x25. Finished piece is 30 x 20cms.

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.
