    Fine write and pic M. Ahh, that's why I got headache. I keep hitting myself on the head with this nail!

  • Goldfinch60

    Ouch!!

    Wonderful artwork Michael, I can understand why they are so popular.

    • Michael Edwards

      Not colours I normally work with but this turned out a treat.

      Say that phrase as you will your art-work today hit me squarely between the eyes with a big WOW - - such a gorgeous portrayal of sea and sky in the magical throes of sunset Michael.

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks Fay - it's quite different to the next one I painted and I'll post that tomorrow.

        Hello Michael,

        Another excellent write.

        One must always accomplish our objectives in life. Hitting the nail on the head so to speak.

        You are a brilliant artist Michael- I love the picture. When I see the picture I think of Turner.

        Keep writing FineB

        • Michael Edwards

          That's great praise - so much appreciated - thanks FineB

        • Poetic Dan

          Wow.... Either works but what a sight! If just put tools down and enjoy the view 😉

        • Andrew Charles Forrest

          Both sound like DIY to me Michael... Wrrrrw makes me shiver
          Pic gives me a warm glow though I like that one... That looks like the end of a GOOD day

          • Michael Edwards

            Yes a good day - I try to make every day good and days like this are a bonus.

          • Neville

            By Jove I think he's got it...

            no, he's definitely got it.... Neville

          • dusk arising

            You definitely nailed it M.E.

          • Suresh

            OOOUCH!
            Either way it's only my head that gets hurt, and if it could - leaving the nail laughing.
            I do love the colors of the setting sun, as so beautifully painted here.
