Before I put the background wash in, I scrubbed literally a good deal of the yellow away. On the original painting the yellow blends nicely as a sunset colour. In this photograph it stands out again, and I fail to see why. I can do no more with it, so must show it, warts and all.
The yellow scrubbed back down almost to white was probably the colour I was looking for originally. I did a faint yellow wash on the front of the white buildings, and that worked well too, but lost on the photograph. Oh well!
The composition extends further to the left including more boats and more sunset. I could put this in a long frame and it would work well. It could only be shown in a bricks and mortar exhibition though, but I have one booked in December, subject to virus spike. I will give it a showing on line first and see how it goes. If no interest, I will keep it framed for local shows
In the meantime, I will start thinking about my next subject

For your next project: how about the Cornwall lighthouse I had sent you? I would like to see how that might turn out on watercolour?

That would be a good subject certainly
Fishing boats probably next. A good old standby, as I have to build an exhibition collection. No reason why the lighthouse can’t go in though

I have seen so many versions of your Bosham Harbour, which are all good, I was wondering if you would want to have a different thing to paint on.

I am longing to find something similar but different, but everyone wants Bosham, usually the same view

The buildings are lovely and the colours are very delicate.
