Between a rock and a hard place

Still at the same place, same time. But zoomed in on a small space of clear water between two slabs of rock that plunge through the ocean. Love this interaction between land and sea, this idea of the energy of the rocks rising through the water, and the water eroding the rock, forever locked in their embrace.

These two pieces work better seen at a little bit of distance. One done on hot press, with Neoart as a resist to start with, followed by watercolour, then oil pastel. The other one on cold press, with a very loose watercolour wash, followed for oil pastel for highlights and detail. Loved how the oil pastel glides. Was very satisfying. Both are 26x26cm. I switched back and forth between them as I was waiting for watercolour to dry. I love some aspects of each. They're all my babies after all.
