Judge Barrie Kehoe, artist and photographer, thought it "conveyed the sheer spectacle of the event. The small boats take the eye into the picture and towards Tower Bridge. The suggestion of huge crowds was well suggested ...without having to paint in detail".
"Old Boats at Skippool Creek" by Harry Caunce
BK "A nice suggestion of boatyard clutter ..a boat with all the bumps and scuffs you would expect. The feeling of a real working yard was well stated"
"Downham Winter" by John Chapman
BK "Well conveyed winter scene with good shadows in the buildings and in the snow. The cottages on the hill take the eye into the painting"
"Cow 0208" by Katie Hampson
BK "Good interesting treatment of the head of an animal suggesting its power and strength. The painter has not attempted a postcard likeness but has covered the whole canvas with lots of activity with various mixed media".
"Ceret, France" by Alan Pedder
BK "A good,loose cafe scene suggesting lots of activity. The use of the white of the paper added to the overall values".
"Sabden Village" by Terry Mace
