Winter dawn

Wow Diana , this is absolutely stunning I just love the colours and the rugged look of the rocks.

Just great, the muted palette works wonderfully well.

Superb, Diana!

Tonal studies are so appealing, lovely, Diana

What a beautiful painting, its just perfect

It's a stunner Diana, has your hallmark all over it, fab.

This is super, Diana. Very impressive!

Absolutely superb

Diana, that is just awesome! I love your coastal scenes.

Mysterious and striking - lovely painting, Diana

Love the drama you have created in this very atmospheric painting Diana.

Superb Diana!

Superb! I love the subtle hues and the rocks. The light falling on the beach is masterly.

A superb painting Diana. Love the rugged rocks and the luminosity of the water.

Love paintings like this Diana, could spend hours looking into it.

Diana, you have captured texture, light, movement and I can almost feel a chill on the air! Fabulous work

Excellent, Diana - moody and atmospheric!

I love it Diana. So full of atmosphere. That wet sand is beautiful.

Lovely tonaes Diana. Great control of the washes -love it all

Absolutely stunning - agree with all the others and I really like the composition - I have a favourite beach that's like thus but it's almost too overwhelming to paint it's so majestic! You have done a lovely job.

Very atmospheric, Diana.

A wonderful tonal painting Diana with great depth and light. I feel I am there.

Thank you Paul. Being unsure of oil painting techniques, it’s all a bit hit and miss. However, there are general painting skills transferable between mediums. Thanks Lewis. I do like the somber palette. Thanks so much Alexandra. I love what you do with oils ! Thank you Thalia. It’s a rare sight to see a landscape in greys. Lovely Thank you Valerie. I love the possibilities of oil painting but not so the cleaning up! Thank you Heather. It’s interesting to hear you mention my hallmark. I thought that would be lost

Thank you Mia. I always pop into my painting room first thing to appraise my current offerings and managed to get oil paint on my new linen pyjamas!!!

Many thanks Cheryl. I get a bit emotional reading such encouraging feedback. Thank you Fiona. I paint costal scenes for my husband who loves the south Cornwall coast. I love the idea of mystery. Thank you Maureen. Thank you Carole. I loved those early winter colours

Simply stunning.

Thank you Karen. I really appreciate your interest Thank you Bill. I actually found the beach the most challenging. Thank you Christine. I love the colours and dramatic shadows of that granite What a wonderful response Fiona. I’m so flattered and very appreciative Thank you so much Kate It’s wonderful to read your positive message.

Thank you Anne. I love your description. Thank you Elaine. I think the sand was partly luck! Thank you Willie. I always appreciate your support Thank you Sarah. I love the word majestic to describe it.

Thank you Jenny. I do like working plein air but unfortunately I can only look down onto this beautiful beach. If I attempted ascent, I’d be featured on ‘seaside rescues’ ! Thank you for your wonderful thoughts Tessa. I really value your ongoing support.

Thank you Chris. That means a lot

Beautiful contrasts of sharp edges and diffused ones. This painting invites you in to look further. Brilliant Diana

What a wonderful sense of Foreboding!

Moody, atmospheric, brilliantly painted rocks , what is there not to love about this painting.

Menacing yet beautiful Diana. Can't take my eyes off this one! I love your palette - fabulous as always.

Very atmospheric and a lovely limited palette.

Absolutely stunning Diana!

Dramatic, moody and beautiful, I can feel the energy of the scene, and that feeling only manifested in actually being there and within a beautiful piece of art, well done

Thank you Martin That’s such a complimentary comment. Much appreciated. Thanks Linda. I’m glad you find it so atmospheric. Thank you Val. I’m really pleased that you like the rocks. They look so menacing in this light. Thanks Jennifer. I was just responding to Val with the word menacing before seeing that you used it too. Thanks so much for leaving your thoughts. Thank you Ellen. There really was no other colour but very subtle earth tones and greens. Thanks very much Spencer. That’s such a tremendous compliment David, I’ve really enjoyed reading your post. It’s so motivating. Thank you.

Love this, Diana. The sky in particular is stunning.

Thank you Tim. A lot of it fluke!! I see a lot of your work had beautiful skies

Gorgeous, atmospheric work

Stunning painting.

Lovely, strongly painted work.
