The First Of The Series of Three...

…is the low tide dusk view. The photo had a stormy sky, but the day I was painting the sky was pouring rain, and I loved how it obscured the true horizon line, so I painted it that way.

After setting it aside to leave the sky and pluff mud foreground to dry, I took the following days to paint in the spartina. 

As this is a study, I will not paint in a second layer, but instead play around with some glazes to enhance the rain atmosphere, and turn my attention to the other two studies in the series.
