GASP! GASP! Ooooooooh!!!! Aaaaaaaahhh!!!!! This is AMAZING work! I have been sitting here looking at it for ages, and studying all it’s little nuances! I love the whole painting, but the best part is that greenish light in the foreground water.
thankyou very much for the compliment, i was trying to capture one of those clear sky windless day down at the bay where you can see to bottom, so turquoise
