This small painting was done plein air, on the Swedish West Coast, a few kilometers outside Gothenburg.

The rounded, soft rocks of the bay are very characteristic for this side of the coast. They have been eroded by the glaciers in the last Ice Age (starting ca 100 000 years ago and ending ca 13000 years ago). The wind and sea continue to erode these rocks giving them their typical round shape.

Painted alla prima, using high-quality oil paints on a gessoed canvas panel.
