Hi Lesley. Great depiction of water, warms and cools, the reflections are superb, deep yet still transparent. Lovely.

25 x 30 cms oil on canvas. An old smaller painting revisited, and painted on canvas with a format change. I don't often paint 'portrait' but it seemed to be the answer for this scene.

About the Artist

Lesley Dabson

I love to paint water, with boats, buildings or simply the water in oils. I'm a regular at life drawing sessions where I usually get covered in charcoal!
