Love the sweeping curves Thalia and your indistinct figures work very well.

Still a spontaneous feel Thalia, great overall tonal range, gells together nicely!

Love the composition with the shape of curves. Great work, Thaila.

Movement and colour painted with confidence- I like it Thalia.

I'm envious of your beautiful weather Thalia. Love the clarity of the colourful water and the rocks are perfect. Natural poses for the bathers.

I was very reticent about this one, all your comments are very helpful, so a huge thank you to you Carole, Alan, Yoko, Shaun, Dennis, and Carole. Really appreciate today's comments from you all, as I have a commission which involves figures on the easel, and you've all really helped me decide how to continue!

This is where we swim every morning, weather permitting. This is a plein air painting I did a while ago, but felt that the bathers needed reworking, I am now happier with them, I also put a unifying Raw Sienna glaze over much of the rocks, and reworked the sea a little with Ultramarine and manganese blue. Hope I haven't lost the spontaneity of plein air...would appreciate your comments!
