Happisburgh Lighthouse from a back lane

It's often the ones you struggle with that turn out best in the end - this works well, thanks in large part to the sky and the clean lines of the lighthouse. I can see you had a bit of a battle with parts of the foreground, but actually that works too, as a less differentiated foil to the main elements of the painting. One or two crisper touches with a finely pointed brush, eg in the blue barn, where those lines (representing cladding?) are a bit wayward and slightly weak, would help to pull it all together. Get someone to buy you a size 4 sable for Christmas. It would be worth the cost, because you've got all the skills you need and it's interesting to watch your paintings continually improving.

I agree with Robert, Jamie. Your work is getting better and better. And you are not afraid to attack all subjects. Go on...

I have just done one of this lighthouse, but from a different angle. It is a great iconic landmark in Norfolk and just begs to be painted. I like the surprise of the lighthouse behind the buildings - very nicely painted.
