Although the subject matter is not exactly glamorous, I had a lot of fun painting this watercolor. But in reality, one should be able to create a good painting out of ANY subject…

The light changed drastically during the several hours I painted this. The tide also took the water completely out of the picture as you see it. My painting position was in full sun with no shade – for most of the day; the heat of the day seems to convey well in this scene.
