This spot is not far from my studio and it is one I
have been meaning to paint for quite some time. It is a
rather exposed location which is fine except when a sudden
180 wind shift puts you right in the teeth of a spring gale -
like right now!! Fortunately, I was just putting some
finishing strokes on when I was forced to try and get
everything on the ground before it blew away. I did
manage to get that done except for my tripod which, of course,
blew over and fell catching my grounded palette and putting
my brushes and several other pieces of equipment firmly
into the gobs of paint...
=:-p
Ah the joy and excitement of painting en plein air!

That is too exciting, Jeffrey! Great story, though.
Beautiful painting. I really love the swirls in the upper painting too.
Why, oh why, does everything gravitate toward the gobs?! Guess that's what we do, so why not everything else?
Stay safe out there.
You certainly did have a wee adventure there Jeffrey, glad it didn't spoil the painting! I love the colours in this painting the sea is almost turquoise blue and the heavy sky has purple tones. Very lovely.
Thanks Melinda...and yes, enough said =:-/
