Small studies finished

My first round a small studies for the Essex coast paintings are finished.

These are 5" canvas paintings of the 11 final sketches chosen. This essentially is the colour round of the studies (the sketches having been black and white - you can see them in last week's post). They're also another quick round of composition.

Some are inherently week - the colour either weakens the composition or they weren't strong enough to start with. A few are automatic contenders for larger paintings.

So out of curiousity, even this small and from this distance which ones catch your eye? Which makes you go "ooh, that would be a cool big painting"?

I'll share my choices and yours in another post!
