You've used some interesting colours and created a great atmosphere. Look forward to seeing further versions.

Nancy I think you have captured that brilliance of the sun, it's a beautiful scene.

Gorgeous colours and light, Nancy!!

Totally gorgeous! And your water...*sighs* haha! I'm jealous! X

Wonderful feeling of the light and its echoing amongst the rocks

Thank you John for your comment! This is a scene that I really would like to try again. I am grateful for you all, Peter, Fiona, Jennifer, Tania and Sandra.

a Watercolor sketch, practice on hot press paper. I have been wanting to try this scene, from the moment I was there. That intense sun going down behind an object and shooting its rays thru....how do you capture it in paint? I dont' think I have yet....this is my first attempt....I think I might like the smooth paper. It shows every brush stroke, but you can lift pretty easy, some areas....the rocks have too similar of a pointy top, although they look a lot like this in person....neeed to change them some, and birds! they are there....I have not added them yet....thanks for looking. All criticism and suggestions for future work on this type of scene is so appreciated.

I have recently escaped to the coast, to Grays Harbor in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. I love nature, being outdoors, the ocean as well as the woods. I am grateful for life, after a ruptured appendix and a year of healing recently; I am treasuring every day! It was time to moveā€¦
