North Sea, stormy winter morning

Oil on canvas
80 x 60 cm

This painting was done in the studio, and is based on a smaller oil painting sketch done out in the cold, windy, and rainy winter morning.  In the original setting, the temperature was a little above freezing,  the wind was about 50 or so mph, and the rain and sand blew off the beach into my eyes and pallet.  You can still feel the sand in the original painting.  Sometimes, it really is more pleasant to paint indoors.
