The result is very appealing

Hi joseph considering you did this painting from memory its fantastic very creative well done Joseph .

Agree very nice work Joseph

The limited pallette works well here Joseph, the painting has a nice glow to it. I've been trying a few imaginary works recently, I think it makes for a looser result. I'm sure working from memory is similar, not distracted by the details in a photo or in reality.

Great combination of primarys, wonderfully put together, great scene too Joseph.

Lovely work, Joesph. Love the hazy light and the limited palette.

Great use of limited colour Joseph.....and your memory too.

Thank you all for your lovely comments - yes sometimes painting exactly what you see has a restricting feel which can take out the life of a water colour painting.

I can see what you are trying to do with your palette in this one, Joseph, and it is very successful. However, I do love your vibrant colours - bold slashes of red and yellow and although this is a lovely painting, I would like to see it done in your more signature colours.

A quick painting from memory and made up. Just using 3 colours - Hansa Yellow medium, French Ultramarine, and Red. I'm trying to get to a more harmonious palette so I've started to reduce the amount of colours.
