That a stunning painting and so beautifully painted. Everything about it is just so good, the light and it’s reflections on the wet sand is particularly beautifully done.

Fantastic painting Marjorie, is it Morcambe bay?

Thanks, Paul and Alan. It's Crosby Beach, Liverpool and Gormley's Iron Men.

Is this your commission Marjorie? A stunningly beautiful and skilful painting, with a sense of calm and peace. Hope you are pleased with the result.

Superb. This is a stunning place and you've handled it beautifully.

This is a great painting, Marjorie. Beautiful colours you used!

Thanks Fiona, Heather and Mia. Yes, commission, great relief it's finished, it was a difficult one. It started out out with many more clouds and and a " brown, red" palette. As I progressed it changed to this cooler scene, easier to live with I think.

This is very beautiful and stunning painting.

Glorious Marjorie, a very accomplished work!

Beautiful! The reflections on the water and sand are so lovely.

Fabulous painting Marjorie, you've made Gormley's work look good

This is beautiful. I love the extended format, the lovely water on the sand that shines and the colours in the sky. Stunning.

This is really good - the water and reflections are excellent. The sky also beautifully done. So good.

Thank you for all the lovely comments - especially yours, Willie😆. I did laugh at that.

A knockout, Marjorie. Everything just right, a lovely tranquil scene.

Excellent work Marjorie. I love the way a couple of heads just break the horizon.

Thank you for the lovely comments Lewis and Tessa.

Very atmospheric and amazing painting. Love the sense of space and light very much.

A winner Marjorie.

A fabulous painting Marjorie I wish I was there, so serene and calming. Skilfully painted.

I appreciate your comments, Susan, Ronald and Carole and many thanks.

Beautiful, this is a painting that keeps on drawing ones attention back to it.

Many thanks Paul. It's hard to be objective with one of your own paintings.

I love these statues and your painting of them is stunning.

What a fantastic painting Marjorie, you've created a spectral and surrealistic atmosphere that is just stunning. You'll have to 'borrow' it to exhibit next year in Patchings, a winner if ever I saw one.

Gudrun and Russell, thank you, everyone has been so kind. I must admit, it's interesting to know what other people see.

Just WOW, superb, Marjorie

Wow, absolutely stunning

Romila, thank you very much. I'm wondering if you've done your large version of the snow covered mountain yet.

Yes indeed. Not over keen on Gormley, but this picture hits the spot for me Marjorie. Nice sunset; (Trying to think of the location, it would be sunset I believe!) I especially like the treatment of the wet foreground, never an easy passage in beach scenes. Nice work. John

Thanks Carol and John. John, it was the proportions of the canvas which caused probs - very elongated. I had to try and balance the features.
