This is really something Satu - such an exciting application of the paint makes it stand out.

Satu, I absolutely love this! Very well done.

Delightful painting Satu.

This brought back many memories for me Satu as we used to visit Brittany every year when our children were young and Hornfleur was our favourite place. You've really captured the atmosphere of this lovely old town.

Really atmospheric and lovely. I have visited Honfleur and I can see exactly what you are getting at with the colours you have used and the shapes of the tall buildings. Great reflections in the harbour water as well.

Vibrant and exciting Satu, like it!

I like this piece. I can see something your feeling, Satu.

Wow, Satu, what an original take on Honfleur! Absolutely love the semi abstract shapes and wonderful colors. It's super!

Thank you Michael, Louise, Carole, Christine,Thea, Fiona, Midori and Seok for your kind comments! It's such a different feeling to paint on MDF instead of canvas and your response encouraged me to buy two more boards.

I love all your work Satu, and this is fantastic. I think the composition is great and I love the vertical lines of the buildings that draw the eyes down to the boats. The reflections in the water and the water itself are very effective. A lovely piece. Let's see some more!

Lovely composition and colours - you've certainly captured lots of atmosphere, Satu.

I love the colours, the shapes and those tall buildings. The bold application of paint and the 'unfinished' look give it a charming quality.

Great painting - beautiful colours

Wooow! What more can I say ?! Everything is just right....... and it looks to me as if you've mastered MDF and knife..... Nothing stops you!

Julie, Jane, Glennis and Avril. Thank you very much for your comments, so encouraging!!

This is stunning Satu, you are getting better and better, the colours, composition... Everything is right, I love it!!

Satu - this is so beautiful. I have been zooming into it and feasting my eyes on your lovely colours and brushwork. Thankyou for your great comment on my lemons painting. I'm trying to paint looser and you have inspired me !

Petra and Beverley, Thank you so much for your kind comments!

A lovely piece Satu. Well done.

I visited this lovely old town of Honfleur last week and got really inspired ( like thousands of other artists! ) by the tall, nearly pastel coloured town houses and boats. I used MDF board, 60cm-60cm, and applied the paint with palette knife.
