But (as a lover of "large" art) what surprises me most is how much punch just one of these has standing alone. As John would say... "who'd have thunk it?"

Series of paintings work well...kind of tells the story in a bit more "space" (thumbs up!) Sounds like a good plan Jean!!

I cried! LOL It was beautiful. Yes... the plan is to work in series of 6 with these little paintings... that way any number between 1 and 6 could be hung together and the same story (or variations of it) would be told. I have four done for the Coral Sea series... so only 2 to go! Then I will do more in the Time Flies series. If I work all over the place... from one theme to the other... (theoretically) I shouldn't get bored with any one series. So now you have my game plan from woe to go! LOL I saw the movie Mary… and needless to say… I cried! LOL It was beautiful.

It would be like looking through a perfectly placed set of windows out into paradise! (Did you happen to read that book "Ring of Bright Water"...about the otters...it was published years ago...but such a sweet story...)

So an otter is like a man-made groyne or seawall right? And not that cute little creature that maneuvers around in bright water? ~grin~ Sorry Elinor… me and my “romantic” names… should have realised it might not have universal meaning!

They are sometimes called sandbanks or sandbars... but I rather prefer the more romantic word "shoal". Both paintings share the same palette and mood... but there the similarities pretty much end. If you sneak back and take another look at Castaway you'll instantly notice the differing perspective... there it's a bird's eye view... and here it's probably more of a boat's eye view!

But ofcourse this is how YOU have seen your painting in your mind. It is a peaceful and warm depiction...I just feel a little lonely with it.

Explain please to a fuddled old body . When the mackerel are out there in the Kyles we can tell from the disturbance on the surface ie apart from the gannetts diving S’cuse me Jean but is this painting not just a mirror reflection of the other earlier one …….The shoals ?
