It is always an adventure to find a painting window on a Monday! This morning I squeezed it in between a kinesis class and teaching a painting class!  This rustic beach scene is from my Door County reference photos, as is the sailboat.  There were always boats near the water - and they are such a wonderful, peaceful subject in a painting.  On this painting, I have used a quite a bit of palette knife work - especially on the rough beach.  I am again playing with my colors a bit, capturing a muted sunrise.  After yesterday's very loud colors, I wanted to tone it down a bit!  This painting is number 786 in 786 days.
