Beautiful sense of light and space. (I visited the point for the geology a few years back and vowed never to drive that road again!)

I think, though may of course be wrong, that you've used a different blue for the sky and sea here: there are those who tell us you should never do that; I've never agreed with them, though there is some sense in it, but if you did use a different blue - it's worked. So has your decision to keep the immediate foreground so simple, ensuring that the eye goes to the headland first - which is just where it should go.

Came across this wonderful beach, during a few days' stay in September near the western tip of the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula. Weather was unusually calm and sunny. Oil painting on 3mm MDF board, 14" x 24".
