This is nice Shirley, lovely colour combination and a fresh looseness about it.

Brilliant piece Shirley. That sky invigorates the whole painting. Superb.

Like the shimmering sky, lovely freely expressed piece

Thank you Bob, Cesare, John, Thalia. It's funny how things gestate in your mind, isn't it. I can still remember sitting there and what I saw.

But yeah, Shirley that's what plein air is all about...when I look at ancient sketches I did years ago, the atmosphere and memories come flooding back

Aren't we all Shirley, we've all been cooked up for too long. Super expressive piece, just how I like them!

Beautiful colours, great painting Shirley.

The greatest compliment I can pay you Shirley is that it reminds me of work by a certain Mr Bickley!
