Looks slight more blue that it actually is , best shot I could get .

Captured that misty feeling, Paul, (and that's not easy)

You have painted this quite complicated scene very well Paul.

Such clever treatment of the background Paul and I like how you have used the blue to portray the early morning - very effective.

Well painted Paul, great use of colour.

I agree with Gerry!

Effective Paul.

Quite amazing how you have managed to portray a busy Thames with a minimal approach, like it !

Thank you all for the nice comments and observations, I have to work at keeping anything minimal as I have the natural tendency to fiddle and just do this but to finish off . I’m pleased with the end result, I’ve been looking at quite a few artist who paint this way , including our own Mr Bickley.

A lovely panoramic piece Paul

Give a good sense of depth and space Paul.

Blues are SO difficult to photogragh! Like this a lot, Paul...well it's boats, Eh!!!

Complicated scene, you’ve captured the atmosphere well

Very effective - I like the restricted use of colour.

Thank you Andrew I appreciate your comment.
