Last Morning in Cape Breton

I got up very early our last morning in Cape Breton to paint before we had to check out of the motel. The cove was pretty dark but just before I had to pack up and dash off the sun touched the top of the rock and a little of the surf. The rock formations remind me of some of the rocks in impressionist paintings. Cape Breton was so beautiful it was frustrating to have only a couple of days there. I’ve had little opportunity to paint the ocean on site and hope in the future to study it further and do more.
