    Nice, nice. Tremendous amount of feeling in this, and a beautiful insight into the mauve and purple color spectrum.

    This is lovely. I have been on a couple of boat trips to Coquet Island (my brother lives at Amble) but we weren’t allowed on the island. Got close though.

  • Colin Cartwright replied

    Thanks, Dave. Yes, I’ve been on boat trips from Seahouses, around the Farne (birdie) Islands. Never been to Coquet Is. though.
    This is my third acrylic. I find it hard!

    fabulous painting,, colors are spectacular,, the mood is set,, love it linmarie

  • Colin Cartwright replied

    Thanks a lot, Linmarie. I’m just starting acrylics, and have a lot to learn!

  • linmarie

    linmarie

    most of my works are in acrylics,, I think you will find them rewarding as far as, ease of clean up,, fast drying,, but because they dry so fast have too work fast for blending,, you did a spectacular job in this one with blending,, keep at it,, my sister keeps begging me to go back too oils,, but takes forever too dry and have furry pets around which makes for a mess with hair flying around or if they tip over my easel,, which has happened,, I will keep watching your progress,, your on a great start…peace and love and pick up a brush,, love linmarie

    This is a very beautiful seascape Colin and the use of purple creates an amazing and unusual ambience over the water and in the sky. Very well done :-)
