Morning sun over the bay of An Amied.
The water disappeared far too quickly and the sun rose even faster, even the clouds dispersed ... the result became a little more expressive than usual.

Meine Insel |
This is the result of my nocturne from last night ... I'm glad I got up from the sofa in front of the fireplace to paint outside again - it was really fun because it worked so well - and the result pleasantly surprised me this morning:
as always, darker than painted - and therefore better than expected.
Malprozess |
I filmed the painting in progress - and just at the moment I was "splashing" with the brush, the camera tilted - which I only realised shortly afterwards. Let's see if I can still edit the video and upload it to my website ... because the most interesting part is actually missing now.
Another view from the lee - this time at low tide (and drizzling rain)
Despite the adverse circumstances: I’m really in love with the atmosphere of Brittany in winter.
The sea was spectacular today!
Unfortunately the still stormy wind made it difficult to choose a subject - but luckily I found a quiet spot ...
After about 45 minutes the picture was actually better (although not finished as the "storm" was still missing) because it was much clearer - I definitely worked too long on it (75 minutes).

It's difficult to get the scale across without people in the painting - the big rock is almost as high as a man, even the algae are huge, the "stalks" sticking out of the sand are up to half a metre long - you have to take a running jump over the "rivulets" :-)
Ich bin wieder an meinem Herzensort angekommen: la Bretagne!
Wegen des Windes hatte ich keine ganz so freie Motivwahl sondern musste das malen, was ich aus dem Windschatten der Felsen aus sehen konnte: aber hier esse ja fast jeder Blick malenswert :-)
Ich versuche das frisch erlebte lockerere Malen auch hier beizubehalten, was mir wie ich weiß schwer fällt, wenn ich meinen (schönen) Motiven zu sehr gerecht werden will.
Insofern war es sehr gut, dass ich nach 1 Std aufhören musste, weil es einfach zu kalt wurde: dadurch habe ich keine Zeit für Frickeleien gehabt :-)
I have returned to my favourite place: la Bretagne!
Because of the wind, I didn't have such a free choice of subject but had to paint what I could see from the lee of the rocks: but almost every view here is worth painting :-)
I'm trying to maintain the looser painting I've just experienced here, which I know is difficult for me if I want to do too much justice to my (beautiful) motifs.
In this regard, it was very good that I had to stop after 1 hour because it simply got too cold: that meant I didn't have time for fiddling :-)
Diesen Blick auf mein Viertel habe ich gestern Abend in der Dämmerung gemalt.
Ich habe ein paar Dinge ausprobiert, hat aber nicht alles geklappt ... Durch den Zeitdruck beim Pleinairmalen verliere ich da draußen mein eigentliches Ziel schnell aus den Augen.
Als die Dämmerung dann zur Nacht wurde, habe ich noch dazu meine Vorlage verloren ....Das Bild ganz unten zeigt wie ich diesen Blick vor 8 Jahren gemalt habe.
