Look's great now it's finished!

Love it, got the feel of a real boat shed !

I like it a lot, Paul! I don't usually like perfection in painting.

A great capture Paul, you can almost smell the wood, paint and varnish etc.

Nice work Paul. Full of interesting details.

Love the boat shapes emphasised with the lines and all the activity.

Andrew , Russell , Lew and Martin thank you for your comments they are appreciated. I almost gave up Andrew , not because of the complexity but all those lines were causing discomfort and my hand was hurting quite a bit .

Lots going on in this Paul. Some great details, I like it.

A4 watercolour of boat builders at work in the boat shed, several bits are not perfect but I’m ok with that, would not be my painting if it was perfect. Done in bits through the heat of the week , certainly tested out my capabilities regarding drawing lines .
