I really like the shapes of the boats and the morning activity when the fisherman are loading up ready for day on the water.
It needed fast painting as there was little time between the sun coming up and the boats disappearing over the edge of shingle. They are pushed by the tractor down the 5 meter drop into the sea, and when they ome back they are winched the steep slope back onto the brow of the beach.
I had barely got the main shape of the left red one and it had gone and then the navy blue one the other side! It's good to do quick studies as you dont have time for procrastinating just totally focused and laying paint down.
This is a sweet painting and everything works together. There is a sense of urgency which you have somehow managed to convey with the figures and the red boat about to slip below the shingle beach. Lovely dawn sky and the ground still holds some of the night colour.
