Something different Val, but very interesting. I particularly like the boat reflections :)

Thanks Sarah, it was the reflections that made me want to paint it.

Nearly abstract with all the lines in the reflection. Nice palette.

Bit of a departure from your normal subjects Val, but this is a nice piece. I particulary like the reflections in the water of the boat .

Thank you Avril and Graham for your nice comments.

I like this esp the reflections, would you call it a semi-abstract? Nearly missed this, as more multiple postings - would you believe it lol!!

You are so versatile Val. I like this, very calming to look at. I like the rippling action on the reflections

Such a gentle painting, super subject :)

Many thanks for your lovely comments Debs, Carole and Lesley. Lesley I think I'll leave boats and reflections in oil to you in future LOL

Hi Val, Ros P here, thanks for your comment on my wee Scottie pastel dog pet portrait, I enjoyed doing it it was a change doing a full bodied dog instead of just a head!

I said I wouldn't paint another boat after my last effort but I'm a glutton for punishment:) I did a postcard size version of this in gouache a couple of years ago for a charity auction but always meant to do an oil version. This is much bigger at 50/40cm but I think the smaller version worked better. Thanks for looking.
