About "Tide Waits For No Man!"

I always return to Watermouth Cove to paint, as it is a sheltered natural harbour with a unique character from the many boats and rugged rocks. On this day, the tide was rushing in, and within ten minutes I was surrounded by water. It was a race against time to complete the painting, so I worked quickly, focusing only on getting down a few details and a loose impression of the scene. The haste in my approach gives the piece a great energy.
