A masterly piece Colin. Over 100 hours of work is true dedication, but worth it for the result. Well done!
Colin Cartwright replied
On considered reflection, I think it was closer to 50, but it felt like 100.
Thanks a lot, Brian.

Great work Colin, guess I am always a bit late on passing comment!! I like the detail you included in this one and so glad you moved to a bigger canvas and admire your perseverance to achieve this outstanding result. BTW I like that sky too!! Cheers, Bill.

This is a splendid piece of work, Colin. I have visited Whitby many times and recognize many of its amazing features. I love the sepia tones and the subdued blues and reds. They work so beautifully to convey the time and mood.
Bob Hall
Love the mood and perspective here Colin. Good work!
Katia Honour
The sky colours are incredible and such softness in mood. Beautiful!

I love the tonality of this piece. Excellent.
Colin Cartwright replied
Thanks very much, Ken!
Yes, getting the tonal contrasts right on such a complex painting, was such hard work! This was not very popular – but I still like it

I can immediately see the complexity of this piece. So much to see and enjoy here from the tall ship way in the background to the tip of a lighthouse, it seems over on the left, to the sail in the fore. The colors, so soft and inviting. You must be so proud of this one, Colin.
