Description World watercolour month, day 23, the prompt was 'beach fun', and today definitely was a day of beach fun for me. What is beach fun? Painting the sea! And swimming of course! I went to the seashore in Riga, where the Daugava river enters the Baltic sea. There are even three lighthouses in the area, the biggest is on the shore, but two others are on the piers starting on the two shores of Daugava and marking an entrance (or an exit) to Riga for ships. There's a really excellent place for swimming, 'couse water there is normally deep, not like everywhere in Riga bay (till your knees).
I painted one of these pier lighthouses (on the right picture) and some rocks inside the water; I put the pictures together and then I wanted to change their places at this final application, but I was tooooo lazy and just flipped an image horizontally. The actual view of pictures is like that (here I uploaded the both pics with a bit better resolution):

Definitely. Not sure if I'm looking forward to the end or going to miss it once it's over

It's over, and I think I'm more glad that not. The challenge for me is not everyday painting, but everyday submitting. I was kinda afraid to forget about that necessity! And few times I was close to itΒ Β Β 
Now ok, I'm going on painting everyday, but I can stop everyday submissions! go hiking with no internet! hurray!
