That is Cape Point - on the far left of the painting. We can see it on the horizon from the pipe and I know I am staying in the water too long when I see the Cape Point light blinking. Something like a dinner gong for the dark shadows heh heh - S Hi K – thanks hey – see how the sea colour bled up into the sky – not ideal but it works OK hey?

The ladies, it turns out are family of someone I sometimes see on the water and he came over and said they were very keen on the gift. I like that. mmm – there’s a thought – It really was such a beautiful evening – I want to paint a watercolour using my new found “glow skills” to try to show the golden sunset.

I can just hear them tellng their family: "...there was this artist... and then he gave us the picture..." I am sure it's framed and hanging on their wall. Special memories for them. Maybe it was a special day for them and now they have something to remind them of it! We can write a novel about this! : ) It was a special gift to the ladies!

I would love to have done one more but time was out. Thanks for your comments. S Hi Leslie – it was quite fun to give away – I used a No 12 round sable for the painting and it almost just flowed.

You know it's paying off when you have time to sit down and work because I can see it in your washes. What a nice thing to do, giving the ladies your sketch. You are a master of quick.
