Yes, the style is definitely more impressionistic. What I like most about it though is the way you have allowed the shape of the sail to cut through the middle of the painting. To me that is superbly successful and demonstrates that after all painting is mainly about shape, form and colour - and courage!
Hi Sheila. Thank you again for your lovely comment. The Thames Barge is a great Boat to paint. When I paint them, Strangely enough, I feel the oldness in them. All the best Sheila. Vic.
I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away.
I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject.
I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week.
Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked
for Barclays bank.
