Good lively sky Dermot, contrasts well with the calm in the foreground, perhaps the walkers need to get off the beach before the storm comes their way!

Brilliant Dermot! Yes you are right, watching paint dry can be very interesting.

I really like your sky Dermot

Very effective sky Dermot, getting wet into wet correct can be so full of problems, this sky says so much, really like the foreground effect, dry brush or scratching ? Gives a real sparkle to it, the feeling of infinity you have achieved with the colours gives it as Dennis said that mystical feeling, love it, nice one.

Very atmospheric Dermot, there looks to be a storm brewing - I'd be off that beach fast!

Superb control of the wet washes, Dermot. Wonderful use of light to move the eye around.

I love to paint these wet in wet skies , it's fascinating watching the paint mix and merge on wet paper .... I just proved ( to myself ) that watching paint dry is in fact an absorbing exercise .....
