The Yacht Club
Once again I have succumbed to buying another watercolour (above) by Jim Spencer,
while my own painting efforts are still “in progress”.
I just can’t help it with this artist.
He is a master of minimal technique, producing paintings that grow on me over time.
Paintings I can breathe into.

Red Sky at Night
This mastery of minimalism to maximum effect is something close to my heart as you might know if you have read any of my thoughts about software development.
It is always something I aspire to, to the extent that I even use “Red Sky At Night”
in my talks to demonstrate the idea.
All I have to do now is get to that place with my painting!
Also for those who are still waiting for my ACCU talk transcripts.
I am still working on the next one.
Its amazing how long it takes to transcribe a 75 minute talk!
Beautiful paintings – I can see why you like them. Approve the purchase! Last weekend Omer wanted to buy a beautiful painting of a cutter at sea – but the price tag (£6500) was beyond our purse!
