I'd never have guessed you'd struggled with it - it seems so clean, clear, natural, and unfussed.

I agree. A bright and colourful painting.

Lovely painting Fred

A lovely sunny painting Fred, full of those beautiful clear Mediterranean colours.

Thank you all so much. I don't know if any of you have experienced a complete blank. But I drew the picture out on the canvas and I thought,now what. What am I doing? So, thankfully I'm glad you all like it.

This is lovely Fred, I think you have really captured a sunny mediteranean feel.

I agree, what a beautiful painting.

Thank you Denise and Carole

This is a real success, Fred. Very atmospheric and as you say: not too much detail, beautiful.

Thank you Mia, much appreciated

Know portofino well and have attempted to paint it many times - failed! You have captured the warmth and colour so well - I'm quite envious!

Thank you Tony. It is really great when someone like yourself knows the location and appreciates the result. Thankyou.

I see no sign of a struggle, Fred! The colors are stunning and you have just the right amount of detail and captured the atmosphere perfectly.

Thankyou Seok

This is another attempt at Portofino. I have been struggling with this on and off for the last three weeks I think I have capured the warmth and light of the place without going into too much detail.
