Beached at Erquy by Derek Snowdon

I will comment on your lovely painting again. Lovely really like the foreground.

I think you labelled this as an oil in the first place, didn't you? Was sure it wasn't - but it doesn't take much to confuse me. Lovely painting, as is its companion piece, like the restrained use of splatter.

Thank you Jeannette and Robert. Yes, my mistake in newness and eagerness wrongly attributed it to oils.

Lovely sense of space and light. Restricted colour pallette. Atmospheric. lovely job

Thanks Angela. If I remember correctly, it was finished in less than an hour. It's about 35 x 25cm.

hi Derek I like this painting best in your portfolio . its well executed and I like the way way the boats are not over worked but give just enough detail to satisfy the eye . I also like Guildford high street good stuff Derek .

Thanks Dennis, yes it worked out well.

.......and this one!

Beautiful Derek

This is a cracker, Derek. Wonderful sky wash.

Absolutely super painting Derek, bathed in light, love that far shore.

Cheers Roland, I sold it easy from an exhibition.

This superb water colour is all about light! Great control of the medium, Derek.

Thanks Keith it was one of my best

Just seen this beauty, Derek! A real gem.

Cheers Jennifer

Derek I can see you are a draughtsman lovely handling of light and use of a limited palette David Harrison

Cheers David, I am particularly pleased with this one myself.

Very accomplished painting Derek.

Thanks David. I was very pleased with the watercolour the way it worked out, pity it's not easy to view on screen.
