I went back to the Souffleur and set up under a lovely Veloutier tree for some shade.  I did 4 colour plays.  I like to work like this making colour studies, colour maps and trying to simplify the seascape.
The first 4 were done on Thursday 5th of March the day before the cyclone.  The waves were huge.

 These 4 were done on Tuesday the 17th of March, the tide was low, the seascape was quite different. The first 4 are colour studies and the last one is done on board.
