Good one Roger

That’s a big plein air sketch, you’re like me Roger, I can’t paint on small supports either. Great job here with a super foreground.

Good for you Roger, getting out there! I’m still swithering about going too far from home, it’s positively Baltic here. It’s a great piece, love the tree line on the left particularly.

Thank you all. Yes, Alan 16 x 20 is my favourite size of canvas. I can get away with 14 x 18 but I'm not keen on the proportion of 12 x 16 (too shallow and long; not enough room for sky.) Had two nice chats while painting this with a couple and then a family; all dog-walkers.

Really good, Roger
