A plein air from the summer

This pastel was done plein air in St. Andrews in about 45 mintues - which accounts for the somewhat rough and unfinished look to it. It was painted as a part of the charity fundraiser "Artists by the Sea for Charlotte Hospice", and was auctioned off that morning. The view is from the St. Andrews Yacht Club, and the land mass in the back is Navy Island.
