Across Freshwater Bay

this has grown on me Murray, lovely cliffs, love the translucence in the water between the rock sticking up of the sea and the shore expecially that looks so realistic, great palette

I was born there - not actually in the sea, obviously, but just a matter of yards inland. Doubtless it was that star quality which drew you to the spot.. One of my favourite places still, and one day and somehow I must drag the old body up over Tennyson Down again. I like the quite simple treatment of the sea - and I don't know about you, but I've always found that cliff extremely hard to draw or paint: if you don't get it dead right, it looks as wrong as anything can look. Oh, and you did get it right!
