Things are cracking up, but he has a beautiful view. Unusual subject Marjorie.

An interesting artist. He appears to have made these from cast iron, and made no attempt to protect the surface. Nature is claiming them, as shown in your excellent painting. I wonder how long they’ll last. In time they’ll become rusty ruins.

Great job on the rough textures. I love this installation and you’ve achieved that feeling of empty loneliness with this piece

I was impressed when I saw them. It was a beautiful day, the beach was almost deserted and yes, I wondered how long would they last.

Magnificent artwork, Marjorie! ⚜️There is so much nostalgia in this painting. ✨ It makes me wonder about time and how nature slowly claims everything back. ⏳ The contrast between the cold metal and the soft beach background is masterfully done! So inspiring to look at! 🖌️

I like this Marjorie, surreal experience seeing them for real.

It's a haunting sight as you watch them all rising from the sea as the tide goes out and you have done an excellent painting here Marjorie.

Weird and wonderful and you have caught this Marjorie, interesting subject!

It shouldn’t work but it does. Seagulls in full force too. Nice.

One of Anthony Gormley’s men. Even the birds have no respect.
