Lovely seaside painting Jane

Thanks Petra - and for telling me twice!!

Think the atmosphere you have managed to create with this sky is really great, like it very much Jane

Thank you, Graham, for taking the time to comment. Hope to see some more of your work here soon.

Well done Jane with your oil paintings, your sky here has a lot of drama and intensity! Do you like to paint outdoors, it is a lot of fun:)

Elizabeth, I haven't painted outdoors much. I tend to sketch, absorb the atmospehre and take lots of photos. I'm afraid I'm a fair weather girl - don't much like getting wet and cold and so far this year we haven't had too many warm dry days here. Thanks for your comment!

Fantastic sky. Beautiful work.

Very kind words, Trevor - am glad you like it!

Another lovely piece, Jane. I'm glad I discovered this portfolio. It contains so many gems I would not have believed you are new to oils! You've really excelled in capturing the light and atmosphere in all your paintings and this one is an excellent testimony to your skills.

Thanks Trevor. I really enjoy looking at the sky and noticing the differences in cloud formation and light - and how quickly they can change! And then attempting to paint something that's not a replica but can create an atmosphere and stir an emotion....maybe...

Excellent, Jane. The dramatic contrast in the sky makes this painting very special. Well done.

Many thanks John for taking the time to look and comment - it was some time since this was posted, so I'm especially grateful.

Thank you for your comments re my Blakeney Marshes. This is a lovely sky Jane although I am not really in to oils. I think this scene in watercolour would work really well

Jane - I love this sky also the whole atmosphere - thank you for your comment on my recent painting - I never know whether to reply to each individual artist or reply on my own page - it seems most people reply on their own page ? - but when you get a reply it makes you look at work you have missed as in this case.
