Sunrise on the Point

I had some pinks and yellows and reds on my palette, so I painted this last night.

I've painted a lot of water in the last year and a half, most of it badly. But I think I'm finally getting better at it. The main thing to remember, which has taken a very long time to get into my thick head, is that water rarely looks blue...

In looking at this now, the one thing I will want to touch up when it dries is to vary the height of the trees. They are too uniform now.

Next will likely be a small hyper-colorful palette cleanser before cleaning up and moving on to something else.
