Waiting To Be Painted: Saltburn

There are some scenes that jump right out at you, and you paint them straight away. Others, you know you will paint, but they have to wait for you to do it, or until the time is right. This painting is one of the latter. We drove to Saltburn a couple of years ago, in glorious sunshine, only to find a sea fret. It was chilly on the beach, virtually deserted, and very picturesque. I knew that I would do a painting from the photos that I took that day, but just didn't know when.
When we left Saltburn we drove back into glorious sunshine about half a mile in-land from the beach, and it stayed with us all the way home.
It's a long way to go for a bit of mist.

Saltburn: Sea Fret.
