I like the way you've done the cliffs and the water, and the composition is good to my mind. The breakwaters perhaps just need to be a little less insistent?

Clouds are ace

I like this very much. A vigorous sky and sea. Great colour.

It works for me Robert, don't be so hard on yourself

I’d be pretty darn pleased with this Robert. Your feel for the coast and sea shows through here.

I agree, I would be very pleased to produce such a lovely painting.

I would be very pleased with this Robert. Interesting composition, light, colour and structure. I think it works beautifully.

It’s a really good seascape Robert you are tough on yourself .

Oh I love that sky 😍 beautiful

Thanks for comments: Jo, you might well be right, though I don't think I want to alter it again .... on the other hand..... I probably will.

I like this very much Robert, it's great as it is.

I was never happy with this oil on canvas, so worked on it again. And no, I'm not very happy with it now, either! But it's .. a bit better; I think. Some of the brashness has been taken out of it. My mistake was to work from someone else's photo: better show it than hide it, I thought. Possibly mistakenly.
