This may have been a study, but to me it's turned out to be a superb piece of work, it's not just the reflections that have been captured superbly but all the tonal shades of the water are spot on. Your brush strokes are excellent, with no over work and the soft dilution of the edges, have made the water so translucent, this certainly is not easy using watercolour. If this was a study Jan, then I can't wait to see your future work. Best seasonal wishes.

"... and I'll squawk if I want to"? Really stunning work. I have every admiration for those who can handle watercolour, a deceptively tricky medium if ever there was one.

Challenge well met Jan, super water!

A superb and as you said challenging painting, so real and gives you the feeling of being there. The reflections have been painted with an expert hand.

Yes this is quite special - as a watercolourist it makes me want to try something similiar.

Wonderful work, that water is quite special.

A lovely painting and very serene .

Just beautiful - I'm very envious and, like Michael, inspired.

A very, very nice watercolour. you have depicted the water and reflections so well and with such a loose brushwork. Admirable work.

A study of the complex reflections produced by this simple little boat. Challenging Watercolour!
