Nice bright watercolour Graham, i like the way you have painted the nearer coast on the left, very nicely blended washes. I noticed the image is a little slanted to the left, did you know you can rotate and crop the image with Microsoft Office Picture Manager to solve such problems?

Thanks for looking Stephen, always appreciate other artists commenting etc. and yes I do know about Picture Manager but do not have this facility yet on my new Laptop, The actual painting a is OK in the mount after adjusing it and, I think it's just the way I may have photographed it originally that was the problem, anyway thanks for your kind remarks and your keen eye in spotting this ..

It is indeed a tranquil scene and so beautifully painted, as usual, Graham. I love your reflections of the mountains and the little rowing boat - and the red stripe on the boat is just as good as ared door.

Excellent, quiet pic Graham. Most imaging editing programmes have a straighten facility, you don't have to worry about MS picture manger, the one you used to get it up here will probably do the job. best Mick

I almost missed this, Graham. Beautiful as always and I agree with all the above comments. Their English is much better than mine (they have so different and many words to explain their opinions!). Love it :) Mia.

Just finished this from a sketch I had and at the time thought I must capture the tranquility of the scene and the little lonely rowing boat, albeit I changed the colour making it white with a red band as I had no door to paint red this time.
