Sounds like a very interesting place. Are the buildings sinking because of the sand? Great job depicting this quaint little village. Thx for the history lesson too.

    Thank you. Amazingly the buildings don't sink. The sand is also quite fine and fertile. Much grows herr.

Very nice acrylic painting of this village. It's great to learn about the history of it through you being the very talented artist at work here. Good luck in the contest.

Fantastic. I love this. Is it all a real scene, or put together to represent a whole! I was amazed to learn yesterday that Turner concocted his scenes of Venice. You have chosen well Brenda. Yesterday, portuguese told me: we are not permitting the English Program over here. Although they have remote long distance /trial for future war / but in person, they will not be permitted in Portugal. Clever lady choosing one of the few countries in Europe which has outright banned English Human Research trials. The rest took the money /ie Spain Hum Res. half a million. Others from two to ten million./ I congratulate Portugal for sticking to its guns!

    It's a blind comp.. not to use my name. It is a real scene about 5 years ago. Still similar but they unfortunately congreted over the sand around the anchor. Great for the kids they can rollerscate or scooter but I think it is spoilt thats progress.

I love that there is story behind this watercolor painting..your thoughts of what you saw and heard were not enough to just be said with words but you passionately and artistically created a painting witch to me is worth more than a thousand words..the colors are vibrant and they pop..very excellent job!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a dramatic view of your island location. Like that big anchor! Colours and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!
