The painting on the front of this site. Low tide at first light, the flats still holding the colour of the sky, and one shed on the point to tell you where the water stops. I painted the sky and the flats as one wash and dropped the shed in when it was almost dry.

The first painting of the year and the reason the palette stays this small.
