This is another great paiting Tessa! Love the colours and handling of the rocks - so easy to make rocks look too round but yours are fabulous.

Thanks so much Dixie and Guy. I started with the big rocky boulders and did want them to stand out and command the painting.

A great painting Tessa. You can sense the wind. With your textures there is also a link to a Van Gogh style. Brilliant!

Sorry, Tessa, finger slipped.

Love how the figure indicates a bit of a breeze and the dominance of the foreground rocks Tessa. A lovely painting.

Good impasto work Tessa, excellent seascape…the figure helps the composition but looks a bit big perhaps…

Thank you Alan. I wasn’t sure about the size- you are probably right!

A3 oil on board painted over a previous abandoned job. After painting recently a couple of graphic style mixed media pictures I felt the need to go bold in oils again, and this is a view from imagination while taking colours and ideas from some old photos of holidays there.
