I love it when the sun throws a shadow of the boat onto the sandy bottom beneath the water, it give a sense of depth. I find some people can confuse the shadow and the reflection. In this painting there is both shadow, reflection and shadow in the reflection, so quite a lot going on.

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!
