The dabblings...

Okay, so this is the most recent one. A change of subject, I wanted to do a relaxed beach scene, so here it is. Late afternoon and a sea like a millpond. Bring on the cocktails and let's relax. :-)

After spending a lot of time on the Polperro painting, and about six hours on the Piers one below, I just wanted to run off a quick wet-in-wet oils pic. This is the result. A Woodland waterfall.


I wanted to portray Piers' struggle with Dyspraxia so hit on the idea of him swimming against the tide. The message at the bottom reads:
"Only someone swimming against the tide knows the true strength of it".
