Penarth from Cardiff Bay

Being a Cardiff girl, that’s a familiar scene very well painted!

So good Frank and very subtle work

This is so good, the sense of distance and place is excellent

This is beautifully painted and skilfully done.

Foreground grasses are excellent, just the right amount to create an impression.

It's just gorgeous - peaceful landscape painting to help calm us down in this frenetic and increasingly troubling world; that break in the foreground really makes the painting; distinguishing it from any hint of the beginner mistake, of just painting a solid lump of grass and perhaps adding vast amounts of detail in order to disguise the fact that their foreground simply doesn't work. Fantastic sky, of course - but we've come to expect that by now!

Frank, your delicate washes infuse the scene with a remarkable diaphanous quality, transforming the coastal landscape into an ethereal, weightless vision of light and air.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

My favourite I think.
