Delightful! Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent work!

Stunning work, love the color tones used.

awsome job…Excellent work..:)

Full of drama and a bold piece of painting Colin. Turner has inspired so many artists – especially with his North East works.

Very dramatic, love the way you have captured the movement in the waves.

wonderfully charged with depth of colour and movement, and incredibly moody as you say in the description!!! i love these strong colour

Wonderful energy and movement here!

Stunning work Colin, you have a real talent there my friend.

Thank you for adding it to the North East England group.

Thanks for the welcome, Dave.
I just noticed the north east group on Brian’s painting, and joined straight away!
Today I’ve finished a watercolour of Dunstanburgh, in the style of Turner again. It nearly killed me.

Very similar weather to when we were there for a christening in February!
Superb painting full of energy!

Magnific.

Beautiful!!! You are so talented!

A Beautiful, atmospheric painting.

Waves can be quite a challenge, but you’‘ve done a great job with these Colin.

beautiful artwork, glorious imagery and wonderful colours, so beautifully rendered, fantastic atmospheric picture, and wonderful Dunstanburgh too. hugsxxx

sorry I was thinking about the next one to comment on. Wonderful Lindisfarne. I think they are organizing a meet to Lindisfarne, would you be interested? we could probably organize a lift for you. hugsxxx

Nicely done. Your land and sea scapes have the Celtic Spirit.

superb image Colin, wonderfully painted

this is wonderful of art. i cant believe this is watercolor. very powerful Colin. and congrats for being featured!

Fantastic

You are developing a flair for depicting sea and sky Colin. Traditional watercolour painting is a complicated art form which you are mastering beautifully. I don’t know if I would have the patience required, even if I’d chosen to do this type of art. I think I prefer to sit back and view the watercolours of people like you who do it so well. Lindisfarne was the original name of this island, but after the Vikings slaughtered the monks it became known as Holy Island because “it had been baptised by the blood of holy men.” It’s true title is The Holy Island of Lindisfarne

fabulous dramatic sky.

Really love this one Colin. Very unusual texture, and powerful colours

very nice

You really have a way with creating a sense of the strength of nature, the waves, the stormy skies. In each image, I feel I could step in.

This is great Colin! I really like the colours you have chosen. The movement is fabulous.

A beautifully tempestuous atmostphere!

Splendid chromatic in your work! Very energetic and credible atmosphere!

Excellent inspiration, beautifully painted Love it!!!
