Original artwork description:

This plein air work was created during a 5-day watercolour painting workshop in Normandy which I participated in with other members of the Belgian Watercolour Society. This was the first view which struck me on arrival at Cap Hornu where our hotel was located in a beautiful isolated spot on the Baie de Somme. This broad estuary is an area of exceptional natural beauty and a magnet for artists and photographers alike. The town of Le Crotoy provides a fascinating skyline and I have included only a few details since it is so far across the bay.
I painted the sky as I saw it that summer morning with a grey haze and a hint of thunderclouds forming on the right but which then later dissipated. The water of the bay really does have that lovely turquoise colour too!
