On the rocks

[MurrayG]

Hi folks. Finally a larger Plein air. Similar scene to the MANY I have already done. Slightly further around the cliff, meaning I was sitting with waves splashing me and trying to stop my box getting wet. Rembrandt's on Pastelmat, 24x30cm.
I finally like this one, I can see some colours are not quite right with shallow water and reflections, but to me I'm kinda ok with the result.

Murray, they've all been great.

 

[MurrayG]

Thanks Bart. It's all a learning.

Hey, a nice day and view, some Pag cheese, a lamb raznjici or branzino, and some local red. What more do you need?

I think your treatment of the water in this one is extra lovely! The reflections seem spot on to me, as well. I like this subtle difference in angle, and the vertical perspective.

It's funny how we zero in on certain aspects of our work that stand out like sore thumbs, but others just don't see the flaws. It's a beauty!

Hope your pastels stayed dry.

Thanks Terri. The different vantage worked better with the scale of things. Interesting how that happens. Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated.

It is lovely. The bits of reds, and the differences in the reds, take this to a higher level. It would not be as appealing in other colors.

It's beautiful. I love the composition and the reflections in the water.

The best of the one. The larger size suits you me thinks.

Thanks AMS, NYL and Bongo. Appreciate the comments.

I like this painting a lot, it's a winner. Very talented painted mountains, reflections, water, cypresses ... Composition is interesting, lots of light and atmosphere.
