I did a version of this in an earlier post, but felt that it focussed on the figures rather than the sense of place. Hence the rework; taking on a lower angle and focussing on the sand and reflections and the openness of the space and pushing the figures and furniture back.
As you can see above I was able to put some paintings in my framer’s window this week ( apologies for the reflections in the glass). At least I have a small exhibition which can be viewed from the open air. I had hoped to be in another mixed exhibition in one of the town centre’s empty shops but the organiser decided to abandon it. I was looking forward to manning the gallery and doing some painting in the shop.
As soon as I got home from my framers I had an email from a guy who wanted to buy, off my website, one of the big paintings that is in the photo. For some reason my website didnt allow him to purchase them on line. The painting had been on the website for a couple of months, but he decided to purchase it after I had taken it along to my framers and set it up in the exhibition. I shouldnt moan. Anyway, as he’s local he said he will call into the shop and collect it – at least he gets a free frame which I dont supply on line.
So we’re off to a good start. I just have to find a replacement.
Other landscapes are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com. Hurry they are running out fast – or should that be seeping slowly…

Very nice Graham, lovely, the use of colour to create the effect of the light reflecting upon the water is fabulous! All the best, and greetings from Spain,

What is Formby Point? A salt flat? A dying lake? Is it coastal and the tide was out?

Yes, Vic, it is the beach and the tide was out – a long way. Past the figures, ahead, is the Mersey estuary which flows into the Irish Sea on the right, and further out is Ireland.

Thanks Tiffany. I dont sell many here, just one or two if I am very lucky. Without any exhibitions this year it’s good just to get the paintings out the house and park them somewhere else for a while and let other people see them.
