It's finally finished, and I'm off soon

I finally finished my landscape painting. All that was missing was a little house on top of the cliffs. Wouldn't that be a lovely place to live? Or at least to spend a holiday? Falling asleep to the sound of the waves at the bottom of the cliffs, breathing in the cool, fresh sea air on a walk on the beach first thing in the morning, maybe even dipping your toe into the water. I certainly wouldn't mind spending a week or two in such a place.

The colours are quite muted, which makes the painting look a bit dark at times. But when light hits the canvas, the muted greens and yellow light up just as the grass and cliffs do when the sun suddenly emerges behind the clouds after a shower.

The painting was inspired by the Dorset coast, and while I'm not going to spend it in a lonely cliff top house, I'll be off very soon for a much needed two weeks holiday in that beautiful part of England. Hopefully, the weather will allow for lots of walks along the beach, cream teas outside, and maybe even the dipping of a toe in the sea. I'm not having very high hopes, though, and so I'm having a look around for what else we could do and where we could go. This place in Bournemouth looks pretty amazing, and there should be just about enough time to see the Alphonse Mucha exhibition before it ends.
