This was painted from a photograph. I have been to Whitby but a long time ago. I would love to got there for a weeks plein Air. You never know, I might do yet.
Vic as usual I can learn a thing or two from your post. I love the composition of this one. I have been at boat basins this past week and get totally confused. I like the way you composed this one my friend. Well done.
Thank you very much my friend. I`m over the moon that you can learn something from my post. Mind you, I wasn`t too happy with this one. Rosemary reckons there is too much Blue. And I reckon it isn`t colourful enough. So I am very pleased that you like it. All the best Joan. 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.

Whitby's a wonderful place Vic, you're right. I used to take the kids when they were growing up. Really like the striking composition on this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Vic,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joan, I love the composition. The busyness of the basin, the figures, and I do like the light in the water.
Thank you Sheila. It`s great to hear from you. I have been loving your figure work, brilliant. All the best Sheila.
