        This was in an exhibition which finished last week so I was able to photograph it today and it does have some figures in it so I can post it with a clear conscience. :evil:

        Acrylic on Arches hotpress watercolour paper a little bit smaller than A3.

            Love the sultry evening atmosphere of this painting. It reminds me of some of the glorious summer evening walks that we had as a family this year.

                    Thanks dawnra, it was a beautiful beach to stroll along day or night.

                    Earl, Thanks. I was alive when I painted this in September :) The sources are photo and imagination. I spent 3 weeks on this island and took hundreds of photos to use for reference one day. The scene was full of boats and people can’t have all of them cluttering up my painting. I just loved the sunsets I saw and thought one day I will paint them. I didn’t copy the photo just used it for reference.

                    Bill,

                    I think you really captured the moment, Bill.

                        Lovley loose style Bill, I guess it just passes as a figure drawing ;)

                        ah yes its good to be able to post with a clear conscience Bill… otherwise you’d have to stick it in the other part of the forum ;)

                        I don’t want to be critical in any way with the construction of the figures :p

                        but it really does capture that feeling of a walk along a beach at sunset :thumbsup:

                            The sunset light is well caught. The figures are a bit on the wee side but still do their job in the composition.

                            C&C always welcome.

                                Bethany, Constance , David, Mac, Harry and Nathan thank you.
                                David they are painted figures not drawings :evil: Its my favourite painting at the moment I couldn’t get the colours right in the post but in real life the colours really glow.

                                Bill,
