I’m waiting for the paint to dry before straightening the horizon on this work-in-progress, and knocking back the edge of the strong brushmark in the sky that leads your eye off the top. I’m debating whether or not to add islands, whether it should be a pure seascape (or landscape with land).
I’ve another, similar sized canvas dominated by summer sunset colours (similar to Minch 28) also without islands at the moment. When I’ve done the horizon on this, I’ll put them together and then decide about whether there’ll be islands, or not.

Thats what the horizon looks like from a small boat when puffin viewing with a heavy sea running – only more so!
