I have been meaning to paint this segment of the island for a few weeks now. Cole and I have been admiring the shapes the water makes between the backround land masses, small peninsula and shore when the tide comes in. Another painting could be made to exaggerate those shapes, more so than this attempt.
The light was extremely bright on the water to the left. Im almost out of titanium white utrecht paint and have been using the end of a jar of dutch white paint i had for some larger paintings. its viscocity does not exact utrecht's and it was odd mixing and using straight out of the jar... i think the light on the water would have been more clearly "bright" if i was using my more familiar utrecht white. Until the end of this jar of dutch paint, so shall it be.
