Beautiful painting and colours, Fiona. I like the way you suggested the blowing sand.

Lovely painting Fiona and great colours.

I really love that watery sky and the bold strokes of the grasses.

That's lovely Fiona. Simple, bold and effective. Nice work.

Cesare, you’ve made my day! I didn’t know whether the blown sand effect came over very well, glad you spotted it....thank you. Thanks very much Tessa! Many thanks Diana, very kind. Thank you Jim, I prefer the simple ones!

This caught my attention straight away, Fiona - lovely.

Love the colours and the perspective from the grasses to the mountains. Nice painting Fiona very beachy.

Sounds like the ever shifting dunes of the Namib desert Fiona. As usual, lively and exciting.

Great little sketch Fiona. Love your palette.

That’s lovely Fiona. Really harmonious colours across the whole painting.

I love the palette and the blowing sand is very effective.

Great vibrant color, and your ability to 'suggest' things convincingly with a few brush strokes is marvelous.

Wonderful colours and such dynamic brush marks. Love it !

Just beautiful, Fiona. Love those purples.

Love it in its simplicity 😀

That sky and those colours tell me that this is a beautiful sunny but windy day Fiona. That blue/purple colour is lovely.

Thank you ever so much everyone for your kind words......always appreciated that you take the time to comment. X

This is lovely Fiona, the colours are great.

Margaret and Maureen.....thank you very much ladies.

Love the foreground bold colour. And the wild grasses. Another "top" one.

Thanks Richard!

I do like swirling sands... I'm just waiting for Lawrence of Arabia to come over the top with his scarf over his face... Suppose that's a bit too far, for sandhead beach though... Seriously very atmospheric great... 🐫

Maybe a few Bedouins, but definitely not Lawrence of Arabia......not in Sandhead anyway! Thanks again Alan x

16”x12” watercolour on Jackson’s rough paper. Sandhead beach is one of the beaches around Luce bay in the Rhins of Galloway. The build up of blown sand onto the beach creates drifts of dunes which are ever changing.
