Arches R 300 gsm, 7" x 10".

today we boarded the luxury barque "seacloud ii" and set sail for the virgin islands.

as the entire day and night were spent under sail at sea, there wasn't much to paint. so here is the view northeast from shirley heights.

the peninsula ends in standfast point, which is strewn with a large complex built and owned by eric clapton. he's essentially his own little italy hanging off the mainland.

this painting went off really well. paintings are coming more easily and more consistently now. i hardly ever run into a catastrophe that spoils the whole work, and i spend much less time fixing outcomes i hadn't expected.
