Hi guys here is my second attempt at painting a background. I set myself a time limit of 5 minutes to complete a 24 inch by 36 inch canvas, but failed miserably taking a whopping 6 minutes and 47 seconds from start to finish!!

My inspiration for this was the shipping channel between Cowes, Phillip Island and the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Australia. From the photo below you can see that, whilst it is a beautiful place to live and game in (we PIGS members are indeed blessed), the photo is a bit boring for a background. As a result I have used this as a guide only.

Here is how I interpreted this I, very loosely I must admit.

Here is the final result:

Hope you enjoyed this.
