This could have been another installment in the World Inspired Landscape series except that I painted it on location many years ago on a tropical island country called Seychelles. The beaches were pristine white-coral sands with lush greenery and an incredible turquoise sea. This view shows one of the many sea-views with one of the other islands off in the distance. I like how the shades of green and turquoise harmonize, and the wet-in-wet effect used for the water.

There seemed to be a never-ending series of islands and beaches. Sitting under a tree for shade I made this painting of the jewel-like water splashing against a granite rock. Rugged vegetation adorned the landscape. The rocks really appear realistic here! I also blogged previously about my Seychelles trip including a
boat in a cove, a neat
mountain with flowers, and a
tree on the beach.
