Stephen, I've said it all before but will say it again - amazing! Great composition, colours, brushstokes - your paintings make me smile!

Absolutely wonderful Stephen!! Like it a lot.......

I agree with everyone, another beautiful painting Stephen

For you, this just trembles on the edge of being overdone - I think one more upright would have been a mistake: but then: you didn't make the mistake! And it's a quite lovely painting, with your characteristic clear colour, entirely believable boat - again, ALMOST too far to the right, but then: not; and the birds are brilliantly done, adding the necessary movement. Something of a triumph, in short... That mysterious figure, peering through your studio window to see how you do it, will be me....

Beautiful! I do like this...

Another superb piece. I really like the palette here, and the light and composition are wonderfully managed and balanced.

Thank you Jane, you are very kind.

Thanks so much Fiona.

Lionel, as ever Thankyou.

Thank you so much Robert, very kind words indeed. You would be more than welcome to peep. Do you live in the UK?

Thanks so much Seok.

Stephen---- as ever -- Just magic --Brilliant choice of palette

Stephen - I almost live in the UK! Never sure if the Isle of Wight really counts - it's such a swine to travel from it, especially from my rather remote bit near Ventnor.

Another superb painting. The sharpness of the boat contrasts so well with the misty and muted surroundings. All the little vertical echo the boats mast in such a clever way and lead your eye around the painting.

Thea, thank you for such a lovely comment.
