'Sky Blue Day'

I'm experimenting lately with gouache, very similar to watercolour, but more opaque. It's  an enjoyable experience.
This painting is based on a sketch from the area. The sea and sky blues were similar colours, but even with the subtle differences, it's still very apparent that the sky is so much lighter. I tried to create 'wind', by putting in the cumulus clouds slim and the smoke from the incinerator  driving to the right. The 'seahorses' - waves are to highlight the windy conditions.
