Tennyson's Monument, Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight

Tennyson Monument
Comments

An interesting landmark and something I’ve seen many times myself - although it appears to be closer to that cliff edge than when I last saw it. I like your palette on this one, nice job Robert.

Lovely painting the colours like this one the most .

It might not be quite so close to cliff edge as I've painted it - well: it isn't, though there's not much in it. A touch of artist's licence employed here.

A lovely painting of Tennyson’s monument. We’ve walked past it on holidays in the IOW in the past. You’ve captured the scene beautifully.

This has a lovely feel of being up on the cliff path Robert, hanging onto the hat! - very nicely done.

Can I go there ? Tis lovely.

I like this a lot Robert

I like the pathway leading to the monument. Looks a beautiful sunny day for a walk.

I also like the way you’ve defined the path - and the people on the horizon give scale to the monument.

I can feel that southerly breeze! I like your treatment of the grass, Robert.

Definitely catches the feel of Freshwater Bay!
