Enjoy Kodak ASA 100 50mm @ F1.8 Olympus OM-2N

A painting ( water colour on cardboard) I did way back in the early 70's for a family friend who always did every thing back to front. He still has it! enjoy a touch of tongue in cheek.

Hi Steve -a great piece here. As a very amateur brush merchant myself I always find these things harder than they look. If you did not get the original idea from a postcard etc, then I think you should try to market this on a greeting card - for I have seen many much worse than this, selling millions. As always your photography copy of such things are impeccable! ☼

Well done, Herb

Hi Steve,

A very original and clever picture! I have never been artistic enough to think of such a composition.
As always, a technically perfect picture!

Best wishes, and a good weekend

A painting that came from knowing the person, his love of boats and doing things back to front. Always helps to have a fertile mind!

All the best to you.

Now that the sea level is getting too high, you should come up up with an opposite idea =D

Something like a guy trying to empty the flooded pool of his seaside bungalow.
