A lovely trio of paintings Shirley. I think this is my favourite as it’s so difficult to get that steep path down convincingly but you’ve certainly achieved it here.You’ve obviously enjoyed your painting holiday in super Staithes. I’m envious!

Thank you, Tessa. I have much to improve in gouache and opaque media. Bruce Mulcahy RSMA was such a clever man. His paintings are absolutely superb, and I recommend a look at them if you don't know them. Mine are scribbles.

A good way to improve Shirley and these are great. I looked the guy up, a really talented artist no doubt. I do prefer his looser style rather than the more detailed " photographic" stuff. I particularly like his boat painting "At Dusk".
