Really like this. It works so well. I can feel the sun.

Beautiful use of the medium

It is stunning, the light is wonderful, I think I would be tempted to leave as is and not put boats in.

I tend to agree with Heather - the eye goes to the sun so keep that route clear. If there were a boat I would have it on a diagonal towards the right foreground so the eye travels across to the sun and perhaps the outline would be warm and softened. But the balance is fine as it is. Oh, the angst!

Thanks for all your comments. I think I will leave it as it is and do another version. Your suggestions have helped me out a lot.

Simple, but very effective, especially the choice of colour.

This is very good Nick.

Beautiful style, Nick!

A watercolour sketch to test the colour scheme and composition. I will include some fishing boats in the final painting. Any advice, opinion or criticism from this community is gratefully received.
