Good painting Shirley.

Lots of nice mark making/brush strokes, all pulling together to make for a super landscape painting :)

Oh this is great Shirley! It’s wild and wonderful.

Agree with Louise , lots of lovely loose marks works so well.

Like your colours, especially the bright colours in the foreground.

very pretty painting and well handled Shirley

Lovely colours Shirley, captures the salt marsh landscape beautifully. And so loose, and lovely.

Thank you all for your comments. I was having a nice time with the acrylics, in the middle of an indexing job. Very nice to paint as a change from typing.

Really like the splashes of red in the foreground Shirley.

I recognised your style immediately, Shirley. Love it. It's right on that boundary I love: a discernible subject but almost abstract. Interesting contrast of thin paint like watercolour with thicker paint. Bold, fresh and loose; superb!

Thank you, Roger. Much appreciate your comment. Love your work.

Great mark making Shirley

Really enjoyed looking at this impressionistic piece of Shoreham mud flats. It's such an eye-catching painting that uses splashes of colour to great effect. The neutral, earthy background tones are beautifully contrasted with the bright and warm colours in the foreground. I like how the red violet of the sky is reflected all the way through from back to front. Lovely. Brian

Very expressionistic - like it, Shirley

Nice original work Shirley. Loose and bold.
