Day 14 - Good Day for a Dip

 
Acrylic on Board 16cm x 16cm
 
Another divine day today. I painted this with a palette knife from the photo below. I took the photo this morning while out swimming and walking with a friend. I love the lush, thick application of  paint but it does make the sea look much wilder than it really was.
  Not that I mind - I feel rather thrilled with the outcome.
 
 
Nice to see that the kids had perfect conditions for their Vacswim swimming lessons today.

    I love the thick paint, it just brings to life the movement of the sea. I can hear it now :)

    Oh this is so lovely. Like too that the water does look more wild - gives the painting movement. Keep painting friend.
