Thanks so much Martin and am really pleased that you like this painting. As you can probably see from the photo, the boats are off the beach and on a tarmacced harbour whilst undergoing some repairs. I think you’re right though that the image and composition is strong enough to take any number of interpretations!

Although I then saw the photo, I like to imagine it is low tide. Or winter storage on higher ground of same sand. Lovely! The colour doesn’t even have to be that of sand… could be a gray day :)
All the best, Martin, Finland

Thanks so much designsweet! Not sure if I’ve cracked it as, like you, I’ve usually tried to cram in too much detail from the photo in the past. I think that the combination of only ordering the smallest 6×4 prints and my deteriorating eyesight is helping to filter out the unnecessary details! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment

I find it really hard to work from photos…always want to put in too much detail. You seem to have cracked it!

Thanks so much and you’re quite right – it was a bit of a eureka moment!
