Tug Boat working

Comments

Super painting Derek ; so daring to have that great big hull in the foreground, but it works a treat - catches the eye at once, and leads across to the tug. Well done.

I agree with Sharon - it is a very daring composition which I think works well. I'm glad you didn't go over the top on the boat being pulled as this would have taken too much attention away from the tug boat which is superbly painted.

I like this Derek I would never dreamt of this composition but its great . You have kept all the detailed work in the tug and the big vessel is not focused on , very nice . The tug is rendered superbly . Well done Derek.

For a friend who is seriously fixated on tug boats and of course there's loads of them in Southampton Docks.

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.
