Today we have had an enormous amount of snow. What you see in the photo is the first third. I have had to stagger around in the snow hitting my bushes to make them let go of enough so that they could get vertical again. In such weather the wise stay home and leave the roads open for the snow clearing vehicles. I am fortunate in that I have an agreement with a nabour so that he does my driveway with his tractor when it is as much snow as it is now. If not I do not know what I could have done.

I am so sorry. What happened was that as usual I got lost into painting and lost track of time and my plan to take photos step by step to show you. So I am sorry this only ended up being a 2 step demonstration.
I am fairly satisfied with the results because I think I managed my goal of making it calm, quiet and relaxing. The clouds are soft and light and the ocean calm without waves.
The rocky beach is deserted but with more textures so that the painting did not end up totally without any "bite".
I decided on making the sun very distant and small because I did not want this to become a typical sunset painting.
Sorry about some flash refelctions from the camera. Without the flash I get a perfect image but the blue colour is lost - sith the flash some reflections when taking the photo on wet paint ona black background. By the way, what you see as only black is also blue tinted so there is no harsh clean black here.
