Waipu Cove revisited

Sometimes, When a painting is not working , I wipe out the bits I don't like (oh, the joy of oils)  and put it aside for another time. Painting is often just problem solving. I often don't know the answer but I like to think about it, research or ask someone their thoughts. This has sat untouched for months and , in my effforts to shake off the painting cobwebs , I have been revisiting old, unfinished paintings to see if a fresh mind can solve the issues.

This one was just such a painting. My problem was how to introduce the stream into the painting ...my first effort was a wiper, but I am happy with what I have done today.





 I might still fiddle with the beach, but I thought it was a good start.

ps. we are now in winter. If I was on a beach it would be dressed in 4 layers of clothing and possibly rubbing alcohol!
