    Wonderful color in this painting. I love the colors of the sea. Nicely composed with a real sense of movement. I paint on this size often...don't you love the square format?

    There's a nice bounce isn't there painting on stretched canvas? The surface lends added quality to your already fine work Victor. Go for it!

    I love this one, Vic! I love old Thames barges full stop :) I bet you are familiar with Ray Campbell Smith's watercolours of the old barges and those fantastic red sails - he's a Kent lad too of course. Best wishes mate, Michael.

    Good Morning Michael.
    I`m glad that you like it my friend. Thanks for your nice comment. Yes Ray Campbell Smith is a great Artist
    in Watercolour, and he is mainly noted for his Kent Oast Houses paintings. I have a few of his Videos, and I will one day get them transferred to DVD`s. Thanks again Michael and all the best mate.

    Excellent painting. Love the movement in the water and love your colors. Your excellent drawing skills come through with the boat. Not an easy subject to paint. But not for you my friend,well done.

    All the best to you,
    Joan

    Hi Joan my friend.
    I`m glad you like it Joan. I enjoy painting these Barges.It`s so sad that they are not around trading anymore. there are a few left that belong to private individials. I won`t be able to use my computer for a couple of days. I have bought myself a new one. And at the moment we are downloading everything onto a memory stick. We are doing this via phone, and it is a nightmare. All the best Joan.

    Hi Vic,
    seems like that barge is enjoyng a nice run with the wind. It's always a pleasure to be carried by the winds , and is free. Nice painting and energy. Happy painting Vic
