The Sea I Hold

I began painting my landscape today. It's rather boring because it's basically rocks at sunset and many details are lost in twilight. I can see the appeal of portraits. There is a nice little bird in it though which was fun to paint.

The picture shown is from yesterday and called The Sea I Hold, I Hold The Sea, a watercolour. I mixed sepia and winsor (phthalo) green. It's about control (walking on the sea) over (holding it) artistic (clouds of imagination) forces (drama!) Size about 150mm/6 inches square.
