Hi Paul, good to see a nice peaceful watercolour on the site! And this is very well drawn and painted, the perspective is very good and the watercolour very well handled, with nice reflections -well done that man!

Paul you have beaten me to it with this view of Bruges, you have done an excellent job of it so I may just wait a while before trying it , I hope I can match this one when I do.

What a lot of work, this must have taken a great deal of time. The perspective is so well done and the detail so intricate. Lovely soft reflections compliment the harder lines of the building, very well done.

I live in Blankenberge, about 15km from Bruges. Every Tuesday, my husband and I take the day off and at least twice a month we go to this beautiful city, shopping and walking, pretending we are tourists, although I studied for 5 years in Bruges (in the sixties!). This is a beautiful watercolour of one of the most visited and popular spots in Bruges. Well done! I really love it!

We were there last July. It is a very special place and we loved it. I've no doubt we will be back. Thank you for your kind comments. It took about 40hrs in bits and dabs.

You certainly know how to capture the light. Quite an impressive and an extensive gallery.

This is a very nice and accomplished painting, I like everything about it, I can see the amount of work and concentration required to finish a scene like this, well done Paul. Great gallery too!

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone.
