Oil on clothe covered cutting board

Today's painting session was for me very therapeutic... started late... had lots on my mind but when I started painting it seemed as if I was in a space of my own.... don't know if the work shows this... that is not important... felt more in control of the knife.... white came our much to glaring ... all in all these blocks have been a good exercise. I like the orange color better than day 16!!!

Today I thought I would choose a simpler subject... how wrong can you be...simple sometimes is more difficult... but I will continue this trend in hopes that the next will come out better... these are supposed to be giant Lego blocks..

Another view of the beach at Ein Gedi ... photo taken on a winter day's... actually it rained a bit which is very rare in this region... calling this a WIP because it really needs some more work on it.. maybe I'll have time before date or not... I doubt it cause its the day I have "baby-sitting duty"  .  Well I did ake advantage of an hour + and am proud of myself for rolling out the table cloth and taking out the paints... fixed horizon and shore lines... and front sand... Too wet to  work but needs tweaking... should I blend more???
