We had a weekend in the N.W area of Brittany for our wedding anniversary in October and visited lots of coastal areas...this being one of them. I loved the colours as the sun faded then disappeared.</div>

This is on the west coast of Ireland. The early morning sun did actually reflect pink on the crashing waves, but I'm treating this as a little bit of modern art.</div>

This is the looser, larger and more impressionistic version of the painting I did yesterday. I actually painted it at the same time so that I could get ahead of my 30 in 30 and to see if I enjoy painting loose more than something more detailed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The verdict...I'm not really sure. This larger painting took more paint but a lot less time. I guess it comes down to just how I feel on the day.</div>

It's all about the colour for this painting. I enjoyed it so much that I painted a larger one at the same time (8x8 inches) and more impressionistic in style that I will post tomorrow, perhaps. </div>

I enjoyed painting the pebbles. Waves, beach and sky means this painting could be anywhere in the world, even though it's just down the road, here in Brittany. Next week I'll be off to photograph some stormy conditions at the coast. I really fancy some choppy waves to paint.</div>

This is further back along the beach at Saint-Pierre. It's a great little beach and I can't wait to visit it again. What hit me the most was the colour of the water and the soft sand. There a lots of beaches in Brittany and they each have their own characteristics.</div>

I thought I'd try the contemporary palette knife approach in an attempt to stay clear of detail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the blues, yellows, oranges and reds compliment each other quite well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took the photo many years ago while travelling in France and attempted to paint it in detail and failed miserably, resulting in it being scraped totally clean. It's disappointing at the time, but I take comfort from the fact that all is not lost. I stll had a board ready primed. The original colours were early afternoon blues and it was an unhappy little painting...pretty drab and depressing, really. These colours are more towards evening and far from being unhappy or drab.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never throw unsuccessful paintings away...just scrape them clean, let them dry, put it out of sight for a while then try again with fresh eyes and a different mood.</div>

If you think this looks familiar, you are right. It's the same painting as yesterday. I've overpainted it to resemble what it actually looks like and made it more colourful. The good thing is that I still have an image of yesterday's effort. The bad new is that I can never sell it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm much happier with the colours and looseness.</div>
