Unloved. by Stephen Kelly

It is called unloved, but I love it. Great colours and the boat is excellent, my sort of scenery.

Really like this Stephen, good composition, lead in, distance and also skillful use of watercolour medium, with detail in the foreground.

Possibly, but really interesting to draw! Great composition and overall tonal structure.

This is wonderful. Old wrecked boats are such sad things and you have done this lovely old girl justice. I really like how you've treated the background too.

Nice composition really like how you have treated the background.

The old boat is so big yet it doesn't dominate your painting because that little stretch of water leads you down to the bridge in the distance, lovely muted palette.

Wonderful atmosphere and beautiful light !

This is so appealing Stephen. You have a wonderful way of painting distant backgrounds and the foreground with that beautiful boat, is very striking.

Almost like two worlds, going through the gloom into the light. Hope it will be like that too, when we exit the pandemic.

Another painting to delight. The wreck is superb, but there's so much to enjoy in this painting.

Many thanks for all your kind comments. My father loved Whitby and although my seascapes are not Whitby, it is an influence that he must have passed on.

Really dramatic painting Stephen good use of watercolour, like all the painting.

Nothing I can add to the above comments Stephen, it’s all been said, except there is lots to love in this painting.

Many thanks Derek & Fiona.

Very nice, Stephen.Great skill.
