early morning flight Kippford by graham turpie

I really like your latest two, Graham. This one is a masterful painting with confident use of watercolour. Very well composed - have you noticed that if you cover up the birds that it upsets the balance of the painting? Isn't it strange how something seemingly small can radically change a painting? Love the way you have done the water and shore line - always a tricky bit to do I find. Great work.

I love estuary scenes like this. Boats are tricky to get the correct shape but clealy not a problem for you Graham. Another excellent painting.

Thanks Thea and Paul for your comments, I agree with you Thea that it is sometimes the smallest of details that can finally complete the composition and end up balancing the painting
