Ilfracombe, England, 15" x 11".
After a recent visit to this north Devon seaside resort in the UK, I though I would have a go at painting the sheltered harbour here with a bit of a Winter glow. So I have used very cool and weak colours and no strong shadows. A little bit of a yellowy/green for the water and some solid reflections. To get some contrast in, I have the light coloured boats showing up against a darker background. The background boats are just rough shapes - what perhaps makes them appear as a boat is a reflection, a mast and a waterline.
