This is great, Shirley - a very unique interpretation of a beach scene...

It's great to see the different versions Shirley!

Thank you Gudrun, Jan and Diane. I'm trying! I hope to feel confident after quite a lot more experimenting, so I can get what I want!

Really like how you've painted this Shirley

Thank you very much, Heather. I have added some warmth to those grey bits in the sky, with a very dilute wash, and it’s lightened the mood a bit. But as Fiona has pointed out, we can’t replace our image in the post now.

I like the strong colours you have used Shirley.

Thank you, Vhrissie. I find I often go on further with these paintings, as I feel inclined, and the results are very interesting to me.

That should be Chrissie, of course. Sorry Chrissie.

This is a further development from my sketch last week. Slowing down more, between passages of paint, instead of speeding up.

About the Artist

Shirley May

Always loved drawing and painting. Studied biology at UEA, PGCE at Sussex, then part-time art studies at Sussex and Brighton, including printmaking. Before Covid I gave a little weekly watercolour class for 7 years. Now I am using acrylics on canvas and paper en plein air whenever possible.
