A pity in one way 'cos the rowing club turned out well...however I am more convinced now that the reeds and water stand alone nicely now.

I may have put the boathouse in to see how it looked, you could always paint it out if it doesn't work. Sometimes it is nice to stay true to a scene, especially if it is a reconizable landmark. Why not another painting, in the studio, with the boathouse included. It would be nice to see the two paintings together and see which one worked best??<br />Anyway, just a thought, but a very successfull painting as is.Keith Campbellnoreply@blogger.com
