Seventh Bali painting. "Behind the Reef"

This painting is all about light and the colour blue. I was fortunate to find a place to paint out of the direct sun. But sheesh it was hot. The hottest day yet. It was painted before midday. Then back to my room for siesta.

I have to clean my brushes immediately as in this heat the alkyd oil kicks within the hour and it becomes very difficult to clean them. Not good for their bristles.
