Starting a New Painting

 After two paintings which I can't show just yet because of show rules, I am starting a new piece which I can show you in progress.

Once again I am playing with bold colors. Most wildlife paintings I paint don't employ bold primary colors. When I do use them they are for a tad or a splash here or there or to mix with other colors.

Isafjordur is a charming town on the northwest coast of Iceland. Brightly colored houses abound in this historic fishing village. There is also a brightly colored sea wall. 
 
Terns were doing their own fishing and landing on the wall. That inspired this piece. Depending on which section the terns landed, they would take on the color of that section of wall.
