Gentle beauty at its finest Dermot

When I saw this I thought what a lovely gentle scene. Then I saw the title, so you achieved your aim Dermot! I like the way you haecissolated the boats from their surroundings with the hazy distance. You have carefully observed the boats and their reflections, nice work.

I also love boats and their reflections particularly, although I don't draw them too well, this is lovely in all respects, well observed Dermot.

A really good result - a languid, almost oily surface feel to the water.

A tranquil scene beautifully painted, Dermot.

Superb. The liquidity of the water is brilliant. That orange is also very effective in drawing you in. Fabulous light.

Truly excellent, stunning and elegant in its simplicity, Dermot! Superb work, love the palette, composition and the luminous brightness of your washes.

Beautiful painting, lovely reflections and amiable colours, Dermot.

Dermot, a great job as always, I really like the way the sky, horizon and water are all one, merging beautifully and the colours and the sharp boat detail is a lovely foil to that backdrop, all works very well indeed. Keep the brush wet!

Sorry, Dermot, I missed this beauty! Love it, Well I would, it's boats! Love the hint of orange in the sky to echo that lovely well observed boat!

Always love to paint boats and especially the beautiful shapes of shadows which I find fascinating
