Sand Island
oil
16.5 x 19.8 cm (6.5" x 7.5")


This is another version of a sand island in Palmico Sound, North Carolina. I think that I prefer the gouache study which I did several weeks ago, and which is reposted below. The sea, with its greater contrast of blacks and yellows, is more effective in the gouache than in the oil.

I may yet repaint the sea in this painting.
