This is lovely. Great colours and it transports me back to Europe in this dreary English Winter. Jx

P.S. I know you've painted Ilfracombe but it's the colours you have chosen that transports me. Lovely and bright. Like South of France. (Just need a couple of orange roofs to complete the transportation!) Seriously though I loove your painting. Really nice compositio too and although there is a barrier at the front you have a way into the scene through the chain. happy painting.Jx

Nice lively painting.

Love the colors and the sunny atmosphere. It's has a real joie de vivre about it!

I think you have done a fine job in portraying a summer day , good painting Fred.

Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments,I should perhaps carry on in the the same style! Forgot to mention it was heavy bodied acrylics on canvas.
