Old barges on the Orwell

Comments

I like this - it's soft and gentle, peaceful but also a little sad - all things perfectly captured in the washes and muted colours.

This Paul is really gtood.

I know what you mean Paul and I think you have achieved just that, a lovely painting 👍😀

Beautiful watercolour Dixie, you can almost feel the derelict barges bobbing up and down, lovely muted colour palette.

More super boats Paul, you are very good at capturing the decayed state of these poor old girls.

Nice and simple Paul.
