Very well captured all the same Thalia, a complicated subject well observed and painted.

Perhaps it's a good idea to explain about the horses. A huge pastime here is racing trotters in sulkies, often on the tarmac roads during exercise. This obviously is not good for the horses' legs and feet, the owners bring them to harbours and slipways to cool the legs and feet and strengthen them.

Great capture and colours Thalia. You got the whole scne in well. Lovely work.

Thank you Alan and Jim, I was keen to get the yellowish slimy seaweed in but it almost took over the colour scheme! Very hot now down in the harbour...probably my last plein air down there till next winter.

Lovely, Thalia. I’d recognise your vibrant palette anywhere.

Lots to look at in this lovely painting Thalia.

thank you Seth and Margaret

Really interesting background story and lovely painting Thalia.

Thank you, Gudrun and Tessa

Had they been there as I started to paint this scene on Sunday, the sea horses [lol!!] would have been the centre of interest. However they appeared just as I was finishing! there were four in total, but only three got painted as they were moving around so much and hiding behind each other! I know it makes a complicated picture even more complicated...
