Rough as guts,isn't it? But I rather like it - it's a memory of the only childhood holiday I actually enjoyed, and posted here as an experiment to determine what I was doing wrong when photographing paintings - getting the camera too damn' far away is what. This is actually 7" by 5" on board, so quite extremely enlarged here: but I still like it. The distance of years has lent enchantment....

This painting is amazing and so beautiful Robert.... Oh I missed the painting with your feet ? LOL..

Superb work Robert this is so alive a beauty

Old Mother Ruth salutes old Father Thames, Robert! She would quite like to have seen your feet as well, actually....Now that would have definitely have been a first! Like this very much.

Rough is good Robert! I really do like paintings like this, where you can see the heavy brush strokes and blobs of paint...it's wonderful!

It's a great painting Robert really nice .

This is so colourful and a great scene Robert. I also like the texture you have created.

Beautiful colour and great brushstrokes Robert.

Superp palette and atmosphere, Robert.

I just think it's a really good painting Robert!

Great painting, love the textures and feel to it, the whites work very well indeed.

I hope I've got it right this time, photographed from much closer. I also hope you haven't been watching my posting efforts today - I shall delete the first one of these, but I also posted one which showed a generous view of my feet, but not much in the way of painting.... this is what happens when you're high on caffeine: and ever so slightly senile...
