I'm sure your brother will love this painting - what a lovely gift...

I've had a very lean spell of late Robert and was actually contemplating giving up painting altogether. I don't see much from you of late but for different reasons I suspect, however, always a pleasure to see your controlled work, in sharp contrast to my 60 minute daubs of colour but I am unable to concentrate for longer periods and become bored. Keep the spirit's up... in more ways than one and I do hope that you are well and that the old eyesight op has been a success.

Another lovely piece Robert, nice to know the background info.

I've already commented on this piece Robert but just to thank you for your recent comments, I do appreciate them. Abersoch has hardly changed over the year's, a few more Porsche's perhaps, it always was up-market. We had a caravan on a little sight, well, my parent's did so I got to know it very well and it is an artist's haven. Sadly the caravan went when my Father passed away, wish I'd kept it now. I posted a much better work in the week of the pier at Sandown, right on your doorstep and as I told you before, my Grandparents lived on the Island, would love to go back sometime but it's the travelling these days. Hope that you are keeping well, I read most of your comments on the forum which are generally of interest to me, it is such a pity that we don't have a few more contributor's, but we can't force them to write.

The other painting for my brother's birthday, and sorry this is a poor photograph, but I had to rush to finish it and photograph it in time. No rat in this one: no self-respecting rat would be seen in the sea (not a brown rat, anyway). Fort Albert is a Victorian construction, and was one of several; its shell is preserved, while the interior has been converted into flats. Acrylic, ca. 12" x 16".
