388 Saxe Point November, oil on canvas board, 6x6

There was frost on everything this morning. What struck me first about Saxe Point were the rocks dark,  silhouetted against the silver sea. Initially, I had the grass a vivid lime green with some gradation. But it was almost the same value as the sea. So I scraped it off and made the grass more autumn green.

I like to go to Music Night at James Bay Coffee and Books. The acts are great. These guys write their own songs and their really great. Also, it's a perfect opportunity to sketch crowds.
