Red turrets of a seaside hotel through palms
The red turrets and shingled roofs of a seaside hotel seen through palms and garden planting, with the building running away to the right.
The two turrets stand at the left and centre and are the only tall forms; the palms close the right edge and overlap the roofline, so the architecture is read in fragments through foliage.
Vermilion and scarlet in the roofs against cobalt and turquoise sky, with the planting in emerald and sap green. Small notes of magenta mark flowers along the lower edge.
Fast and wet, the roofs laid in single loaded pulls that bleed at their edges, and the windows stamped over them as separate dark dabs once dry. The palms are struck out stroke by stroke from each crown.
Watercolour on paper. Transparent throughout, with unpainted margins on all four sides.
