I'm finally glad to have this painting completed. It has been hanging in my studio, for almost a year now, unfinished. Yesterday the situation on the coast was almost the same as last year. As a result of weeks of high winds coming from the sea, sand has piled high near the edge of the dunes, thus the vessels are partially buried in the sand. Two club members, probably just came by to check that all is secure, no doubt hoping that the wind will die down somewhat, thus making it possible to for them to take thier babies out to sea. The surface on this canvas is thick with oil paint, thus was hard for me to get a sharp focus. Details like those two herring fishing boat, are not easy to see, thus this work looks much better in the real.

Well after living with this for a year I am also glad to see it finished although I guess I will miss it - and as always when you spend a little longer on your works you get a different kind of result - a very polished work - well done..
Ah, the unfinished ones.
But, you did a great job here. I love the lines of the fence and the masts. Nice composition. Congratulations.
