I was hoping to see the elusive ‘green ray’ which occurs sometimes when the sun finally sinks on the horizon. Only shades of violet remained.
I found this stone circle that someone had made on the sand and it interacted beautifully with the sunset.
As far as painting is concerned, lots of interruption with computer repairs and other jobs, waiting for the next canvas purchase. In the meantime reading Jung’s memoirs. He related to the psychological calm and reflective quality of water and built a tower so that he could spend time by the lake.
Lake, sea and river do tend to have calming qualities, unless of course you’re kayaking down the rapids !
