Seaside collaboration challenge by Fiona Phipps

It's really very nice Fiona, a real sea side scene with very well painted gulls. Even hotter here today!

Great sea gulls Fiona and I like the shadows in the water. I've just posted an old painting of mine, this challenge really seems to be taking off!

There had to be a seagull Fiona and these are lovely! I have a love/hate relationship with them, they are beautiful birds but not at 5 am in the morning! Hope the sun has reached you up in the frozen north today, it's hot here but with a very welcome sea breeze.

It's certainly a winner in my eyes, Fiona - there seems to be a conversation going on in that piece, it really engages the viewer!

Lovely work

Pretty peaches and blues, lovely scene, Fiona, with superb reflections

Yes, I can only agree with all the comments, very well painted and observed, the reflections really add to it. Well done Fiona.

Suits the seaside theme perfectly, I can hear their cry and smell the ozone. Beautifully painted Fiona.

Superb Fiona and the reflection are perfect

Not surprised you've got such a positive response - this so well depicted Fiona

This is really good. I love the softness created by the colours; late afternoon feel. Seaside challenge sorted!

Thanks Louise! It&#39;s been quite warm here today but still no sunshine...and they promised, boo hoo!<br /><br />Many thanks to everyone for your lovely comments, I hope you have all managed to stay cool today, perhaps on the beach working on something for this challenge. <br /><br />Thanks again!<br />

Love your subtle muted tones in this painting Fiona…your reflections are fabulous!

Easy on the eye with the gentle blues and peach. Shadows and reflections together make a very interesting and eye catching painting, lovely.

Lovely painting Fiona your on form lately. Well done

Wow, Fiona! This is fantastic. I love the reflections .The sea is great too. But the stars of the show are great, with typical stances. You have really captured the scene beautifully.

Lovely soft colours Fiona. I see this scene whenever I walk down to he beach!

A truly lovely painting Fiona!

Many thanks Sarah, Janet, Dennis, Jenny, Marjorie and Satu for taking the time to comment. Very much appreciated.

Lovely work, Fiona - and a great entry into the seaside challenge.

Lovely image Fiona. You really have caught the reflections so well. It looks like the bird with the outstretched wings is in the middle of some description to the others!

Thank you very much Thea and Julie!
