Summer Sparkle, Burnham Overy Staithe

Oil on Board, 10 x 14 inches

This one is a Norfolk painting that I did as a demo piece for another art society, finished off in the studio yesterday.

The hook for this one was the gorgeous sunlight reflected in the water, with the boats arranged in a perfectly haphazard way, pointing every which way. I love putting in the little nuances in a painting, like the pure sunlight bouncing off the gunwale of the boat just off-centre, above the children swimming in the water, and the highlight on the head of the chap wading in the shallows - they all help to give added interest to a piece.
