Very atmospheric painting Steven, good textures in the foreground.

What I admire about your work Stephen is your wide range of subject matter and this is another beauty

I agree with Michael, you have a tremendous ability to paint anything!

Lovely atmosphere and light.

I ought to know much more about boats than I do, living within a stone's throw of the sea: is that mast a bit short? I don't know, which is why I ask! Great atmosphere, anyway - and I'd never have known you've not been to Staithes if you hadn't said so.

Lovely atmosphere - parts are almost Turneresque! As to the mast, the boat is probably gaff rigged and when you hoist the gaff, it goes much higher than the mast

I have never visited Staithes but since I took part in a challenge that featured Staithes I have painted quite a few scenes from there. I found this reference on the internet and could not resist it. It's a watercolour 16 by 20 ins approx.
