I'm continuing in the thicker paint, palette knife landscape mode. Here is an Oregon coast scene with an unusual angle. I was high up on a cliff, overlooking a smaller cliff, and then the beach was below that. There are trees reflected in the edge of the water. The composition is strange although it follows my reference photo pretty closely. Truth is stranger than fiction and this works better as a photo than a painting but I wanted mainly to get the texture and thickness on the canvas. This was also overpainted with the palette knife on a thinner unsatisfactory painting. Here I had to brush in the waves a little as the knife wouldn't quite give the effect I wanted.
