The Coast Road

Comments

Very nicely painted Fiona loving the hazy distance .

A lovely fresh and breezy feeling to this, Fiona - I like it very much!

Great foreground Fiona and love your sky and sea. Your limited pallette works a treat.

Stunning work, Fiona. Absolutely love all that lively and varied brushwork, the wonderfully harmonious palette and the atmosphere so wonderfully captured.

I like how the surf spray rises above the waves and the swirl of the foreground water Fiona. You have captured a lively, moment of life on the coast superbly.

Well now! These new boards seem to be working rather well Fiona… looks like you’ve given this some thought and not rushed it for a change - it’s a very good painting!

Love the soft blues Fiona, wonderful marks in this pleasing painting.

Out in the wilds again, Fiona. Beautifully portrayed.

This one is right up my street Fiona!! I love it 😀

I like that a lot, Fiona. The water has great movement!

Lovely Fiona

This is one of your best Fiona. Energy with sensitive use of colour makes this painting really work.

Gorgeous! I love your colours, style, feel of this, and those little dabs of blue are just magic.

Very nice painting Fiona, wild and windswept. Can' t wait to visit again. Enjoy the boards?

Gorgeous, fresh and breezy, love it Fiona.

A beauty Fiona, calls to mind those choppy days on holiday. You've created a memorable atmosphere.

People have said it all. Great attractive work Fiona.

Paul, Anne, Chris, Seok, Carole, Carolyn I’m very grateful for you very kind comments, thank you. Alan, you’re right….as usual…..I am putting more time in to looking, seeing and planning, rather than just waving my brush about in a Tally ho manner! Lol. The boards are a dream to paint on by the way.

Love the colours and mark making

Great coast painting, really like the spray and splashes of blue.

Carole, Lewis, John, David, Heather, Shaun, Tessa, Denise, Stevan, I really appreciate you taking the time to look and comment, thank you very much. Marjorie, the boards are super to paint on, have you tried them, you probably have, I’m always slow at trying different stuff. This 16x12 size fits in my rucksack with the paintbox and paints, I’m going to get some of the larger size boards for the winter, for studio stuff. Alan B put me on to them. I was over at Sandhead today but the sea was a bit calm, in fact it was hardly moving, the tide was on the way out. Come and visit the Isle of Whithorn to do some painting, there are two headland views which are fabulous this time of year from the old watch tower on the point. Davy is doing a summer school at the Isle in September for a week. Thanks very much for commenting Marjorie.

Many thanks, Jim, Romila, Eleanor and Richard for your lovely feedback.

As said, very lovely painting indeed Fiona

Lovely painting Fiona;beautiful sky and foreground, very nice allround painting.(hope your oils dry quicker than mine do )

Thank you very much David. Chris, many thanks appreciate your comment. They take an age don’t they! As always Michael, you are very generous to me…..thank you. Now you’ve asked….I am almost sure it’s Old Holland blue-grey thinned down with a little turps. The blue colour is scrubbed on top of a dry Old Holland burnt umber undercoat, which is showing through the blue to some extent. The cloudy bits are Michael Harding’s warm white, it’s kind of buff colour. Thanks very much Chrissie!

Lovely energetic work Fiona.

Ditto to all the above Fiona - this is beautiful.

This is gorgeous, gives a real feel of movement

Nicely painted and lovely.

This really works well Fiona. One of your best for me.

A super painting Fiona

Gorgeous painting Fiona.

Stephen, Sarah, Jennifer, Judith, David, Anjana and George many thanks for your encouraging support.

Love those foreground marks and colours Fiona, beautifully echoed in the sky and sea.

This is a beauty Fiona- so full of energy and a great pallete.

Katy and Carol…..thank you very much ladies!

Lovely and fresh and I always admire the energy/dynamism that comes through in your paintings Fiona.

16”x12” oil on Belle Arti canvas board. When you can see where you are heading across an expanse of water, it seems as though it will take forever. At least the view can be enjoyed until you arrive!
