| Le dernier jour |
For my last afternoon of my last day the sun shone! Hooray!
I was able to get out with my easel and found this fantastic view looking down towards the Guerzido beach. Usually I can't paint this view as there is a high stone wall running alongside the path down to the beach, but as luck would have it a large wooden gate is broken and lying flat on the ground.
I knew I had to paint from this spot as it could well be fixed again by summer, making this view private once again.
I'm not sure what to call this painting, maybe something about the private view? Or 'le dernier jour' to remind me of the week it rained and rained until the last day when the sun came out.
Beautiful Haidee, as usual! Love the light and especially love the sky. After all that rain, there was a silver lining after all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Judith! 'The silver lining' would be a good title too!
DeleteWhat a beautiful painting, Haidee-Jo. I just love the composition with the light on the sea and in the sky, set off by that silhouette of the house on the right.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Graham. I am really hoping this gate panel is still down when I next go to the island so I can paint this view again. Usually I would have to look over a six feet high wall which isn't ideal for painting purposes - perhaps I should take a stepladder!
DeleteHello Haidee-Jo,
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your lovely blog! I love the way you've caught the light sparkling on the ocean. Beautiful!
Thank you so much Wendy and welcome aboard! Great to meet you :-)
