Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, Debra....I can hear the diesel engine throbbing gently as the 'Islander' glides in....I am lost for words to describe your magnificently reflective sea (I love reflections)....Oh yes...this is stunning....joy of joys for an islander like me! It was a foretaste of heaven to see these fine wooden vessels when they would anchor overnight in the bay below my home in Tiree. Their planking was incredibly lovely, as it swept upwards towards the stem. You have caught it all here. Your style has sharpened somehow, and it is even better...if that is possible. You deserve a medal for producing this with such sore fingers. I hope the finished painting will act as a great therapeutic medicine for you and for all who see it. Keep going! Great stuff. Donald.

Oh thankyou kind Sirs !!!
Fred, Deebee Harrisman and Donald...thanks so much for the comments !!!
I wasn't going to upload more Art, but was asked to show one I still have to put on here yet- and since I had just finished this one I thought I'd upload that one first, then the other one.....so I suppose that's me uploading again as other still to go on....
(a wilder sea type) but after that I am changing medium so it doesn't get boring....can't be having that can we !
Harrisman I would emigrate to Harris in an instant if I had the chance !!! Nothing like a wild windy island ! Saying that it is kinda like that here lately as we are getting the weather from the West !
Donald...it was just more of the 'tiny brush' since there was so much more detail to do...I daresay just like the intricate work you are doing on your model which I also can't wait to see !
You are all too kind as I see some really fantastic work on here which I could never emmulate !!!
I am glad this one gone down well though, and yes it was a painful painting and my fingers are still protesting ! Another prescription of anti-inflammitories came very in handy and since they are now 'free' in Scotland I can't really complain too much can I !!!

Thankyou so much Donald H, Carle and Ronnie !!!
Donald that is very nice of you to say that...you are TOO kind !!!
Glad you like it Carle !
Ronnie, I don't know if Mr Roper has seen it yet unless he's been on his facebook home page lately, but it could have been off to the USA as someone over there really wanted it.. but I told them it wasn't for sale and I have kept it here, on my own wall, as still trying to get a collection built up (very slowly I might add lol) I always think the last might be the last... so I am loathe to send any of them away lol.
Anyway you are all too kind and it is much appreciated as always (Thumb)
