The sea and sky are pretty featureless in that kind of heat - flat and hazy - and aren't at all inspiring to paint, so thoughts turn to other related subjects.
So - again - it's seashells but this time it was about combining the realistic subject with an interesting background.
It's quite a difficult balance, trying to ensure that the shell is still the star of the painting and not overpowered.
Lots of experimentation was the order of the day which is the best part for me.
It gave a new take on the subject and it's certainly something that I'll be coming back to.
OK.....pass that ice cold lemonade will you?
