Really good Shirley, great sense of place

Thanks dear Heather!

Excellent painting Shirley.

Great posts today Shirley May but I particularly like this one because it is so animated and I love how you have painted the distant buildings.

Thanks, Carole! It was a very calm day. Thank you, Stephen.

Love the way you put paint down, and the colours you use ! This is lovely !!

Lovely painting Shirley, super colours and well balanced tonal range. And I like the textureof the paint.

Excellent painting Shirley, love the way you have painted the foreground posts.

Superb work Shirley, got so much energy to it.

You’ve captured that unique Worthing silver light perfectly, Shirley. Painting a "dull" day is a true test of tonal values, and you’ve absolutely nailed the calm, ethereal atmosphere.

Thank you for these kind comments - much appreciated!
