So good I can almost hear the waves hitting the rocks and taste the salty air, it’s a beauty Marjorie.

Marjorie Firth you are a real painter, years of practice and you arrive, a super seascape.

Thank you both - the thing I like best in this are the seagulls!

Very atmospheric

You are on a roll Marjorie! Another really lovely seascape with great movement, enhanced by the gulls.

Another superb Seascape Marjorie, I don't think you could find a single thing to do on it that would improve it.

I agree with George. It's a beauty!

You are all very kind, thank you! I’m loving doing these at the moment.

Thank you for bringing this painting alive to enjoy. I miss being able to get to my favourite places now and you have taken me down memory lane. I can hear the scream of the seagulls and the pounding waves. Wonderful Marjorie.

I just about made it unscathed down to the little beach Carole!

You are enjoying it because you know it’s coming just right. Great!

A beautiful painting, love it !

Corrrrr……triffic Marjorie! The joy you had painting this is pulsing off the canvas. 🤗

Yay! I feel like one of those seagulls wheeling about in the air! Thanks Martin, Valerie and Fiona!

Fab-U-Lous! Everything about it is top notch

This is so bracing, it lifts my spirits to look at it.

But don’t dip your toe in it Lynn! Thanks to you, Heather and Anne.

So very good.

That's beautiful. I can imagine standing there.

I can feel the movement of those waves and spray -very atmospheric!

Beautiful seascape - I love how you have painted this Majorie.

What a gorgeous piece of work Marjorie… much talent on display here!

Very atmospheric, and the birds add life.

What a great painting Marjorie. As Paul said you can hear the waves.

What a beautiful painting Marjorie, so much to learn from it!

Wonderful seascape Marjorie.

Many thanks Lewis, Janet, Hilary, Shaun, Alan, Jenny, Christine, Romila and Sandra!

Beautiful impressive painting, Marjorie. Hai reso in maniera eccellente il movimento delle onde!

You're a fast worker - do you find that helps, I wonder? Or was this an exception to your usual speed of execution - it always interests me, and people do seem to vary enormously; I'm not quick, but not as slow as some; sometimes it seems to make a difference, at other times not... Anyway - good gulls, yes: clearly visible, but not so much so that they dominate the scene; the sea is excellent - well, it's ALL excellent!

I am quite fast Robert, probably more when I’m enthused about something. I suppose I think a lot before I start but things often evolve during the process and, generally, I paint every day. Thanks. Cesare, anche grazie! Guardo spesso le onde perche abitiamo vicino al mare.

What an atmosphere! A superb seascape Marjorie.

Works so well, great sea.

Thanks very much Val and Maureen.
