Worth the effort you put in, another good boat painting Paul

I really like it - specially the contrast between the foreground colour and the greyer background, which reminds me of Lowry.

Super painting Paul.

A great sense of place, I love it !!

Heather, Bobbie, Stephen and Valerie thank your for your kind comments .

I really like it Paul.

Has a tone of functional industrialism to the context, Paul, but with the positive energy of richer colours. Nicely done.

A very authentic old dockside scene, Paul with good colours - lovely

Super scene Paul.

It’s given many years of good service Paul. Great colouring.

David, Gerry , Anne, Denise and John thank you for the kind comments they are appreciated. Some of these old boats went on for years before they were scrapped etc, old fashioned engineering built to last.

Another very well painted watercolour Paul.

Like this very much indeed Paul.

Sandra thank you for your kind comments.

Good palette Dixie and those smoking chimneys in the background look like something from Lowry.

Thank you Frank for your kind comments, Bobbie mentioned Lowery as well ,what a compliment especially as there was no intention of mimicking his work, as if I could anyway .

61/2 x 16 inch watercolour of a trawler alongside the docks . Imaginary scene based on an o,d Newlyn trawler . Taken ages to do because of the hot weather and working in short spells , explained more on the forum ad a WIP . Became disheartened with it a while back but continued as it’s was a wip I’m ok with the end result but not enthusiastic about it.
