Can feel the chill, really good Jill and great figure work

Great work Jill, I love all the figures and like to imagine what they are saying.

Great figure work with a strong narrative Jill.

This is excellent and the figures bring Robert E. Wells to mind

Thank you for your lovely comments. It was very cold and this was the last chance for the swimmers to use the beach huts for brewing hot drinks and drying off....the next day the huts were to be removed to winter storage. But they swim on at another beach, changing bravely in the lee of the breakwater and fortifying themselves with thermoses of hot chocolate and coffee. I think I prefer to be in my studio :).

It looks a chilly one! Great painting Jill. Love the figures.

This painting has now been sold to raise funds for our local sea-water pool; it was badly damaged during the last two storms.

A much fiddled about with painting inspired by the brave souls who swim in the bay all year round.
