And you’ve produced a super painting!

It looks like just the place to splash about in wellies John. Such a lovely scene and I love how you have used a minimal palette to produce such a natural, beautiful,panorama.

Great painting John

A super painting John. A great sense of depth and the light clouds in the distance draw in the eye.

A superb composition and so very well painted!

One of your best I’d say John, must be the wellies! 😂

A superb painting, love the detailing, the sky is particularly well painted.

I really like this - lovely colours, and the wide view adds to the composition.

Well said and very well painted!

oh my goodness! such fabulous comments! I'm delighted at the reception this painting has had, I must admit I wrestled with it a bit before it all fell together. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity, there are some folks on here that write something wonderful about nearly every painting I put up and I want you to know I value every word and feel inspired to continue as a result :)

Seok and Willie, I’m so grateful to you for taking the time to write such encouraging words 🙏🏼😊

How did I miss this……firstly, because your birthday wellies intrigue me! I spend half my life in wellies but not with zips. Secondly…….it’s a belter!!

Love how this draws you right into the view, lovely work John,

I like the contrasts in this one. The freedom of the beach and the beautiful drawing quality in the buildings. Lovely.

I’m of an age where simple things give me so much pleasure- like splashing around in the sea with my daft dog wearing my new zip up wellies- when you know, you know 😊
