Excellent picture Paul, love the boats.

Love your colourful boats Paul and your painting is full of interest and painted very skilfully.

You are doing well Paul, keep 'em coming.

What a super pic, Paul.

Thank you all for your very kind comments I appreciate them. I used to do little a5 painting quite a lot sat at the dining table in the evening, can’t do with the telly so it’s a good distraction.

A smasher Paul, lovely and jolly and your hand is being exercised well!

This is what I term a big smile painting😄, you must have enjoyed painting this Paul it just make you feel happy with the artist (you) painting a scene but has a flower very clever! This is a gem and well done with the painting and the thought that was put into it. LOVE IT!! 👌😃👍😉

Delightful Paul.

Those seagulls are keeping an eye out for chips! A lovely painting.

Good exercise Paul!

A delightful scene with lots of interest. Super colours too.

Thank you Andrew and Paul I appreciate your comments .

Excellent picture. Really like the bright colours and the figure is great, doesn't look as though he's painting what is in front of him though!

He is using artistic license Sandra, thanks for the comment.

This is so nice, love the happy feel of the painting!

Great little sketch. I enjoy these sort of works. I have been caught painting a scene that isn't the one in front of me..

Thanks Bob I appreciate your comment, I’m often ask why I’m painting something different to what’s actually going on in front of me.

Thank you John , I appreciate your kind comment.

A5 watercolour, done as part of my daily exercise routine for my hand, suggested that I work small to retain and develop the fine touch etc. I did this last evening between making cups of teas and getting supper, several short sessions but around and hours work . Used my half pan set of paints for a change.

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
