A spot not too far away from me down on the North Somerset coast.  Another low tide painting.  Low tide, exposing the harbour bed, can be just as interesting as some boat reflections!  Well in this one, best of both worlds with the bridge reflection.

Simple composition - go for 3 boats, all different sizes.  It's amazing how many colours you can sometimes find in the harbour floor.  Probably more than if it were the sea.  My reference photo was a dull December day.  I changed it to a sunny one!

A third painting of this lovely location on the River Axe.  I must get down there when the tide is in.  I think I got the values better on this one with the distant hills and stronger values in the foreground.  Might have been nice to add in a few more posts to help the composition.

A lovely village just South of me where I did a demo to the local Art Group in the summer.  Not sure which street this is.  The locals said 'ooh there's nothing much to paint round here', but I beg to differ.  Just catch the light at the right angle and some shadows across the street and it can hopefully make for a half decent composition.

Following on from a previous post - here are the cottages - almost on the shore front at Porlock Weir.  The foreground is dominated by the harbour at low tide - a messy muddy hollow with lots of different tones and colours - reds, browns and blues.  This area is punctuated by mooring chains over to the harbour wall which is on the right (out of picture).  I sneaked in a couple of figures for scale and a bit of simple reflection in the pool.
