Mont St. Michel at low Tide

During this time off, I reworked a painting that I did awhile back. Sometimes when you do a painting for the first time, you learn as you work on it. The second time around, you can improve upon it. I changed the composition and took out a lot of the detail. My goal was to create a mood. I am happier with my result the second time around. I added more texture this time. This is the feeling of the time we are living in right now with the pandemic that the world is experiencing. I think back to when this monastery saw days of the black plague. We are all in isolation much like the sailboat stuck in the sand waiting for the tide to come in to free it.
