We had a group paint-out in the picturesque little village of Leighlinbridge, Co Carlow, yesterday. Unfortunately, it quickly turned into a very wet and windy morning, but a local hotel kindly let us paint under the large umbrellas in their external dining area, overlooking the river and marina. I did my first painting while it was raining and was immediately drawn to the red and yellow boat. I still had to push the colours a bit for added impact.

The sun came out for a short while in the afternoon, but it quickly clouded over, so I had to rely a lot on memory to complete my second one.

Interesting to see how you have pushed the colours. Also impressed by the insertion of that red in the second one it creates real impact.

Thanks Mick and Rob. I've been pushing myself this year to tackle more complex subject matter, knowing that my drawing skills need sharpening.
