Original artwork description:

This Oil Pastel drawing was done while the midday ocean was quietly rolling back and forth with small waves breaking on the shore. I liked the distant clouds towers and their reflections that shimmered on the water.
This is part of a recent series of paintings and drawings done during my 15th Wedding Anniversary trip with my wife to Kenting in south Taiwan. It is a very beautiful place that we went to on our honeymoon (actually familymoon as my visiting brother and sister were with us!).
The tropical weather was very sunny and hot, around 38 Degrees, so we would try to avoid going out during the midday heat, which gave me the opportunity to draw and paint the beautiful views!
The ocean in southern Taiwan is very beautiful and I can watch it and paint it all day. The beach and ocean views from the Chateau Hotel are amazing and we were very fortunate to have beautiful views from our room.
I love the different shades of greens, blues,olives and yellows that you can see in the tropical waters.
These pictures were all created from life whilst looking at the beautiful views in the area. At first I drew and painted outside in the shade, but after the heat got too much I would work through the window in the air-conditioned room, much nicer!
I painted and also drew the scenes in Oil Pastel which is a fun material to use as it creates more impressionistic marks.
