Staithes sketchbook

I find this really appealing. The colours are lovely and it's lively somehow.

I like it Paul, loose and full of life, interest and charm

Many thanks for your kind words Jenny and Gudrun.

You have captured this beautiful cluster of houses so well, a lovely composition

I'm not surprised that it took so long to do, Paul, such a wealth of lovely line and colour...Like it!

Full of interest and lovely brush strokes and lines, makes for a lively painting.

Thanks Lesley, Ruth and Fiona, much appreciated.

I love doing a jumble of buildings as you have here, but it is time consuming for sure. I love your immediate sketch for all it's vivacity and spontaneity.

Thanks Thea, yes it was time consuming. I could have added a lot more buildings to the left but time was running short and I needed to get some paint on. Would be lovely to be in a position to return to the same spot, same time a day or 2 later and complete it in similar conditions but with our climate and work etc it's very difficult.

great composition in your paintings Paul and lovely use of colour.

Thanks Ros!
