Chania, Crete, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A dull day harbour scene, Chania in Crete. I think the composition works with the balance of the background buildings, the curve of the quayside and the position of the boats. Maybe I could have had the horizon higher to make more of a feature of the reflections....

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Looking down on 4 small boats, moored along the canal by Scali Monzani, in Livorno, Italy. I liked the symmetry of the scene, the equal-sized middle boats, 2 larger boats on the sides, some abstract shapes of shadows and reflections and then the repetition of the ropes.

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"
My first plein air of Tewkesbury on a recent trip there with my art group, the Bristol Savages. Absolutely lovely day, no wind and bright sunshine. First plein air was an iconic view of the Abbey across the river. Very beautiful spot and very peaceful earlier on in the morning.

Ancona, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The bridge over to the cultural centre in Ancona. A big fortress-style building as an island in the harbour. Just a simple scene with a couple of boats and some reflections. White gouache used for some highlights.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
The 'New Venice' area of Livorno in Italy, and a horseshoe-shaped wide canal running around the centre of the older part of Livorno. Here a mixture of craft, and just up my street as a painting subject. Mainly modern boats, not really commercial, but I like painting scenes like this - a background, boats and reflections middle ground and maybe something in the foreground - a jetty or similar.

Saltash, UK. Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Ooh I went quite blue on this one. A painting based on a photo of mine taken down in Cornwall and a very bright September day - very warm for the time of year. It's great that in just one location there are probably hundreds of painting subjects and compositions to be had, just by turning around. I thought this one made an interesting composition with the curve of boats leading into the scene.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Via Arsenale which connects Livorno City with the Port area. I nice row of boats of moored up against the side of the bridge attracted me to the scene, as well as the reflections of the distant building.
