Sea Bay in acrylics

I reworked this on after I thought I was finished.  Decided that the rocks were a bit dull so I did a glaze of red oxide over them and added in the clouds which seemed to complete the painting.

Sea Bay measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Amperand Gessobord Panel.

Many thanks to Carol Theologo for the reference photo.
