Bare trees, Praia Moçambique- detail

I had attempted to paint here before and it had not gone well.

 Or, perhaps I had judged so, not because the painting was  poor, but because the subject matter, harsh and unkind, brought uncomfortable feelings. 

I decided to persist and I`ll come back here. It`s rich and strange and makes me uneasy.

This  sort of angular graphic on a bright background is rather Graham Sutherland, isn`t it?
