Hastings towards Rye Harbour - Impression.
Oil on board 25 x 60cm. The finished stage from the two WIP’s that I posted last week. I had to break off to complete another project for a deadline, so it lay there untouched for a few days. When I looked at it again yesterday, I didn’t like any of it, and gave it a complete revamp. I lowered the horizon considerably to shift the focus more on the sky, and painted over most all the old work. A much improved composition I hope. The white blobs on the horizon are Dungeness power station. I’ve made them a touch more prominent than on the photo, it helps to draw the eye round and settle on a focal point. Loosely based on a photograph courtesy of Dawn Farley, but as always, with my own expressive take on things.
