Very atmospheric Roger.

Very nice indeed

Nice atmospheric landscape Roger

Another beautiful landscape, Roger!

They always say, don't put a continuous line of fencing or other barrier across your picture, it stops the viewer from entering it: one of those theories I think you've just entirely disproved. Well, you wouldn't necessarily want an impenetrable barrier, but then this isn't impenetrable - and it works.

Fabulous sky Roger! Lots of depth and mood.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, Robert I was aware of the potential barrier. I tried to lead the eye down from the highest fence post and then I left a bigger gap than was really there to allow "access" to the beach. In the Western Isles there aren't many verticals to link the horizontal strips in a composition. Come to think of it, I could have made the fence disappear downwards to the beach but, in fact, it followed the direction of the road, beside which I was perched. I'm pleased you mentioned this issue. I might play around with this composition in some later paintings.

A lovely view. Wonderful marks, especially that sky! I like this very much Roger.

Very nicely done, as ever.
