Low tide at Bosham

We have yet another response to the Painting Challenge and this one's particularly creative as Ian Fountaine has managed what Canute failed to do and has stopped the tide coming in. Yes, it was supposedly at Bosham that Canute commanded the waves without success. I bet Canute couldn't paint like Ian either.

Here's what Ian wrote when he sent in his entry. "Sorry to take so long to get around to your painting challenge.  In fact, by the time I got there the tide had gone out!  Actually this is with acknowledgement to Joe Francis Dowden who will demonstrate for us in October and who painted the same scene in this manner."

If you have ever visited Bosham you'll know that it is the houses that have a wall separating them from the road below and at high tide the road is often flooded.

Here's the first painting in response to the painting challenge based on a photograph of Bosham. Thank you Diana.

Painting Challenge

Here's a new challenge for you. Create a painting or drawing inspired by the photographic image and send a jpeg image to LAS Challenge.

The photo was taken at Bosham on a cold January day in 2013 a few days after snow had fallen.

The copyright of the photographic images used as a LAS Challenge remains that of the originator but you may use them as a basis for your own art work.
