Bridlington Beauties by Jo-Anne Clarke

Great reflections in the harbour and interesting texture on the boats which shows us the weatherbeaten effects on these N. Sea craft.

Thanks James. I really love our working boats and enjoyed using my palette knife on this. I was trying to do just that! I hope that the rest of this series of boats turns out well. I am still battling with my sketches, but keeping at it.

Like your boats Jo-Anne the sea looks glassy calm - lovely. Just the 2nd boat from the right - I think your reflection may be slightly out?

Sorry Carole I rarely head for perfection; just fun! Glad you like it. It is my third palette knife painting. I was told that it is also due for inclusion in a magazine in a few months too. Lucky me!

Nearly forgot... I hope to be posting a few more boat paintings soon if you are interested. I am just a bit swamped at the mo. Here's hoping that I don't go down with ma ship!!! J

I love your Boat painting Jo-Anne, I find it very refreshing and peaceful. Well done.

Thanks Bill. I really enjoyed painting this one. There is a short video of it being completed on my website at www.ja-clarke.com if you are interested. I only have a couple on there at the moment, and the only painting that I can get done right now is the woodwork in the house! arghhhh!

VERY ENJOYABLE PAINTINGS

Really nice painting. Sharp and punchy colours. Great reflections.

Thanks John. I may end up keeping this one...

Lovely painting, great tones and colour, and spectacular reflections!
