	Dear friends, after looking in both my files and the web for Turner works which either willingly or by accident I left un-posted, I can say the harvest has been optimal. I am not exaggerating: I have found precious gems among Turner's earliest paintings and also among those from his latest years. So if you don't mind, I will begin with the latter and only then will I attempt, in as precise a chronological order as possible, a review of all the others. Note: the date of Norham Castle, Sunrise, a work already presented in page 2 of this thread, has been corrected from 1835-40 to circa 1845 since this is the one offered by the Tate Gallery, where this work is treasured. In addition, this time I have opted to show, among several images available from different sites, a darker one from the Wikimedia Commons site. William Turner - The Lake of Zug (watercolor over graphite, 1843) William Turner - Norham Castle, Sunrise (oil on canvas, c.1845) William Turner - Heilderberg (watercolor on paper, 1846)

	Dear friends, I would like to start my review of Turner's works missed out in the course of this thread with a simple, yet exquisite, oil on canvas of unknown date - though I am assuming it is an early work. To me, and I hope to you as well, it is a real discovery that deserves to be posted alone. William Turner - A Fresh Breeze (after 'Sheerness and the Isle of Sheppey') (oil on canvas, date not known)
