Another lovely loose watercolour William, and such well drawn trawlers. I would have bled some of the furthest cliff tops into the sky, but I’m nitpicking!

I think it's great William and hope your health continues to improve

Thank you Heather and Alan, I do agree with you Alan it’s a bit too much and should have been more subdued. I only added it at the end and over did it but just wanted to practice on boats and was happy with that part. Thank you both👍

The cliffs are fine, it’s just the hard edge all over…

A superb piece, as someone who loves marine paintings this is extremely good in my opinion.

This is lovely, love the boats !!

First class work.

Captured well

Beautifully painted

You could improve it, and you probably will next time, but it's a fine piece as it stands, and the colour is fabulous - e.g. of the hull of the boat, the sand, the sky. Sorry to hear about your recent ill-health - and hope things are improving for you.

Thank you everyone for your helpful comments and I’m sure I could do better, as for my health there does not seem to be an answer from everyone I’ve seen and it can be extremely painful hence my absence? Thank you👍

Marvellous William! Absolutely love the light on the birds, lit make your painting sparkle.

Lovely painting William. You apply watercolour washes in a beautiful traditional way. I admire your skills.

Skilful and beautiful painting!

Thank you Fiona, George and Ann your kind comments are very much appreciated! 👍😄

Lovely tones and mixes in the cliffs, and the figure and birds make it for me.

What a beautiful painting! Boats have charm, so well executed against the simplified cliffs. The birds and boats are poetry itself.

Watercolour on Fabriano not. Haven’t done much lately due to health issues and apologies for lack of comments on the painting you have put up. This is just me practicing on painting boats but I think I overdid the backdrop of the cliffs otherwise happy.
