Bristol Harbour, 22" x 15"
One of my accepted entries to the Bristol Harbourside Art Prize. A row of up market yachts at the Bristol Harbour Festival with the Arnolfini Art Gallery behind. I can remember doing the painting on a warm summer's evening and the tricky bit was to get the hull washes not to dry too quickly and have them merge in with their reflections. I only just made it and had to work pretty fast. I try to avoid having to re-wet paper to get that merging effect. The reflections were done with a medium sized mob brush, with a nice point.
The exhibition is currently open in Bristol at the Harbourside Art Gallery.
I like this painting very much, you've captured Bristol beautifully, I know it well! How long is the exhibition on for ? I would like to go and visit, I've not been up to Bristol for a while.
I see you also like the Three Amigo's! I thought I noticed a bit of their style but I think your paintings are a lot fresher! Did I see you using one of Joseph's brushes? I have them too.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Joy. This should be still exhibited in the Steak of the Art Gallery in Bristol or the Harbourside Gallery which is almost opposite.
Yes I use mainly Escoda brushes and Jackson's Mop Brushes.
Thank you Joy!
