Pearly Dawn, Cornwall, and Botallack Mine, seascapes in oils, work in progress
A calm sea, pearly colours of lavender, apricot and jade. This one is another oil on a 10 inch square canvas, It was a total nightmare to photograph as the subtle jades kept disappearing and the apricot highlights - not helped by photographing it while it's wet! The sky glows a bit more and there are subtle bits of the apricot sky reflecting on the tips of the swells that aren't being picked up very well in the photo :>(
The last one I showed, of the harbour, has had the lower section of sky lightened and I think is finished.
Botallack mine is moving onwards but large areas are still just blocked in. The foreground has a long way to go and the far cliffs and mine houses but the sea and sky are further forward. The sea is going to be wilder, crashing onto the rocks and cliffs.
c&c????

I'm not sure if it's photoshop or my camera Sue but I find that it's very very hard to bring out the subtle changes of blues and greens
I'm somewhat amazed that you can get all this in a 10" canvas.My hand-eye correlation goes completely out of whack when I try to put a lot in a little!
and Dinah -this Botallack one is a 16x20 so not such a struggle with detail, which is quite loose really.
