Time and Tide - together :)

This is the series that I have at the moment - they are all to scale and it gives an idea of how they work when hung. The tallest is 50 inches and the shortes 35 inches - widths vary from 8 ins to 12 ins.
Windy Day 12x42 inches
In this one I tried to catch a fine windy day, where the surf is pounding in and the reflections are broken by the incoming ripples - it's exhilarating to be on the beach on a day like this :)
I've still got some more to do and then it's on to slightly more usual canvas proportions.
At the moment they are propped on top of the TV, in front of bookcases and along a sofa in the living room so that I can see if anything wants adjusting - and all those edges need painting in a soft neutral creamy colour :>( - a mammoth task! ...... I wonder if my husband would ............................. no, I think that's hoping for too much! :>)

a reporter from a local glossy magazine is phoning to interview me later - so I don't know what that's all about but it's exciting!
the interview went OK - I think! It will be in a local (not national) glossy mag in August - I hope it comes out ok! It's one that the people with money buy so that's good!
These are lovely.
yours colours are so intense.
thank you
I've painted there in so many weathers - sometimes having early hypothermia I'm certain!
