I love how you manage to capture the peace and beauty in your work, wether it's a lush landscape, or an industrial city setting.

Thanks, very kindΒ

It's realistic - to me at least. These are the colours at a port. Subdued colours have their place and they work well here. It's for people who see the beauty of reality. Thanks.

I agree with the guy below, you always manage so many nice textures in your work.

I enjoy the textures, though I sometimes have to modify them a little so that they are not too dominant.

Wow, this is amazing. The textures you achieve are beautiful. The warm palette is so inviting. So often ocean pictures are cool paintings and give a feeling of melancholy. Your eye for detail is great. I'm always so curious about things, and this picture makes me want to know more about it.

This one works wonderfully well. Your skill with water in watercolor is most subtle.

I love this. Β It's rather serene and the sky is so faint it could be early morning, the beginning of an adventure
Did you draw this from life? Β I'm curious to know the place?

Thanks.
I'm not one for sitting outdoors with my paints etc, that's much to uncomfortable in all sorts of ways.
I base my paintings on my photographs. The atmospherics are usually an invention so though it was morning it didn't look quite like this.
The place is Ile d'Oleron

Nice drawing and very interesting industrial textures!

Thanks very much. I'd rather like to paint more industrial scenes but living in a rural area that will prove difficult.

Make a trip to Silesia one day

Silesia must be industrial I guess, truth is I'm more likely
to wait until I return to my roots in the North of England, they have or two there.

Surely England has got enough of industrial landscapes, this is where it all started... If you'd like to have a look at Silesia (our industrial region, yes) with eyes of another painter, search for "Sanderus" here on DA.Β He is one of my favourite watercolor artists.

Yes I already watch Sanderus and agree that he is excellent.
I wasn't thinking of treading in the footsteps of L.S.Lowry (I hope I've spelled his name correctly
I had in mind something a little more grim and grimy and I don't even know if I could do it.
I'm considering making a start with one of the grain silos we have here.
I couldn't afford to travel to Silesia though I'm sure that it has a lot to offer. Β

Thanks Rob, it wasn't what I intended but sometimes you just have to go with the flowΒ

You do indeed; part of the fun of painting! Though I find an appealing aspect of inks is the comparative lack of surprises....
