Looking in the opposite direction from my window than the views I painted the last days, I saw this beautiful serene scene on the sea front of Barcelona.

I liked the combination of the greys at the bottom of the painting with the oranges and yellows.
And - I've found the solution for taking a photo of the finished painting. It's tricky but it works - see below:

Sun on "La Sagrada Familia"

Another picture of Barcelona in the morning sunlight, this time with Gaudi's famous "Sagrada Familia" in the background.
The photo issue is still not solved completely, but apart from a slight reflection at the bottom of the painting, it turned out fairly well today. I'm getting there!

Still haven't found the ideal place for taking the photograph but it's already a bit better than before. The problem is, that the sunlight beaming through the windows is so strong that, no matter where I set up the painting, it reflects very much. So I tried out closing the curtains, but then it was too dark. Puh! The best place so far has been the hallway, which means setting up the painting and the camera on quite a slim drawer, at an angle, with the camera right on the edge, hoping it won't fall down. Well, I'll go on searching....

On our way here, we stopped over in Barcelona for a few days, where I enjoyed the view over the city, gleaming in fantastic sunrises every morning. Might paint more of those.
