I love this.  The transition from blue to green is delightful and I love the solitary feel of the boat stuck in the sand.  Good job!

 Ah! ah! Did you read your compatriot's comment?! (David6262014, below)  He finds my poles ugly, there is a hole in the stuck boat, no rope... a disaster!

Why 50 by 50? Why are those poles on the beach?
I like it.

 Thank you!

 I'm not used to the square shapes. I had this one: I used it!

 The poles? I don't know! Maybe just to keep the tide from taking the boat away...

............Uh the poles are ugly! The boat is stuck in the sand. There is a hole in the boat anyway so don’t worry about it. Besides where is the rope tying the boat? Stuck, hole, no rope.

 Ho! ho! What a criticism!  And you still "like" this poor stuck-up boat?!

 Fortunately, I don't  want to sell you this painting: it's already sold , with hole, ugly poles, and all its imperfections......

Un camaïeu tout en profondeur, une impression de brise fraîche et légère après un orage remuant.
Le bleu éclatant de l'embarcation joue un rôle vivifiant, "j'adore" !

...this always will remain just fine....It is possible that an extension of the canvas to the left, as I showed you, might have a figure, but it now seems frivolous to suggest that the Belmondo-pose you have done be placed there (digitally) ....

This is evocative- I can smell the water & salt in the air...

Yes, the boat adds a lot- its good to make it blue,

esp that sympathetic hue of blue...one notices your

memorable-characteristic color in the waves...

...so...this was actually started in 2012?

 The smell of the water and salt nearby Santa Cruz?                                                                                                                                                    I don't like the blue of the boat but I haven't been unable to change it...as usual...( did you read my mail?)

 You are the only one who knows what was the appearance of  the old painting  two weeks ago...

....I was wondering about that blue

...generic seaside salt-air-smell !

...its better for the addition of the boat...so far my fav marine of yours is jeune fille... but there are several

of this, your special genre IMO ...

ClairObscur16 In reply to artin2007 [2018-12-27 10:31:36 +0000 UTC]

  As soon as there is your Jeune fille around,  you're no longer objective....

  It's true that the watercolor to which I added Reb dates back to about the same time as this last (partly old...) one.... What a gibberish! My"not so-bad-english"

 isn't in progress....

I think that I  am both objective & subjective re this.

Why do you think Reb's presence affects my perception of this scene?

(...said he, facitiously...)

  Because it's true. And normal.. Isn't she your daughter?

 ( I think that my best work is "Marine cemetery"..and not any Reb in the decor!

 Have you an idea of the number of Reb's visages I have drawn?)

Very much so - the North Sea is renowned for it’s rough manners - especially at wintertime.

 It's true that you who make pictures of Switzerland, in lenght and breadth, you seldom photograph the Geneva/Leman lake?

I have some photos of Léman, yes, and I even lived there for one year back in 1991-1992. But I hardly ever get there anymore, unfortunately
