Masterful work ! To take on such a complex scene and still keep it looking so loose and fresh.

I can only say stunning Mark! I wouldn’t know where to start on such a complex scene, but you’ve handled it beautifully.

Great, as usual.

Missed this one Mark, great painting and as you say these places are an excellent source of painting subjects. I don’t know why but the one in the high vis and clip board looks as if they are a health and safety officer, I do love a painting which contains a narrative element.

Cross to the West side of the Arun in Littlehampton and you’ll find a few boatyards full of interesting painting subjects. I stood on the bridge and watched this backlit scene and knew it would make a good watercolour if I could just untangle the detail. This is 31 x 55cm on Millford paper with Daniel Smith paints. Still wondering though what they were discussing in that meeting.
