It being perfect weather for painting on location, I headed to my favourite seaside picnic table taking three infrequently used things: sunscreen, my sunhat, and the box of water-soluble crayons I’d rediscovered. Once again it was the bit of rocky shore with the angled slabs of yellow-tinged rock echoing the yellow gorse that grabbed my attention. Would today be the day I felt like I finally did it justice? Turned out it was.
Lovely painting Marion! Looks a beautiful day there x
Thanks Jan. It was about as perfect a sunny day as it gets!
wonderful painting, great rock textures and i really like the way the water is all swirly. thanks for posting.
we are over run with gorse here (Oregon coast in the US). Some helpful individual brought it here in the early 1800’s and it has taken over the entire state of Oregon. Because it is so prolific, thorny and oily, it has become very difficult to control. It is fierce when burning and has caused the town where I live (Bandon) to burn down several times. Pretty though and the bees love it.
It’s a beast of a plant to try to eliminate because of those thorns!
Lovely!! What a joy to paint there!
