A trio of small boat paintings in acrylics. I was exploring the effects of light on water, trying to capture the intense glare and reflection. Two of the paintings were of Woodbridge in Suffolk and the two boat painting was of St Malo in Brittany.
This painting is based on an afternoon last Christmas watching a number of boats in the bay off St Malo struggling against some very gusty wind and a rising sea. I thought it would be an opportunity to push on the heavy sea painting technique.
