And the sky is very well painted, Dermot, and the figures too. Lovely scene.

And damn good advice too Dermot, Rowland Hilder also said 'paint a sky a day', also good advice. This is so fresh looking, excellent work.

It's advice that works for you as there is a lovely sense of freedom and space in this, makes me want to be there.

Free, light and expressive and the figures are moving and well spaced.

Splendid piece, Dermot! Love the clean, crisp atmosphere. Beautiful washes, as usual.

A fantastic beach scene, and you have created the feeling of 'being there' , so well, I can virtually feel the breeze. I so agree about painting skies. It's a joy to do them, and no two are ever the same. So therapeutic. I love this painting!

Your skies are so beautiful Dermott and I love the birds wheeling round above the beach and the waves.
