Probably.

With a plash of white spray there I think left side frame would be done.

Getting there. Some shading perhaps and then maybe some holly for framing the text.

As per the call to arms, here's my contribution-in-the-making.

There's a village in Sweden called Ensamheten - (the) Solitude. There's also a children's book called "Viktor builds a bridge" - in which the protagonist (a man on an island) decides to connect with the mainland by building a bridge. He lives to regret the decision.

Not sure it's accessible by boat only, but I rather like the idea of whoever lives in the cottage on the left side of the map - where there will also be woods - gets the occasional visitor (enough to keep the route clear)) but do not themself own a vessel.

We catch them, I think, at a time when there are no guests. Perhaps they are inbound, expected - in keeping with the season.

Or it's just the calm before the Norsca raiding party.

I did a video, which ends in a bit of a cliff-hanger - to be resolved below.

The Water

Well, what didn't change after the video? I decided to simply redo the entire thing.

Twice. First I picked up that the Blob was probably subconciously made for being a wave/lightning-maker: a hollow fill style and all I had to do was stamp away. I also decided to go with full canvas coverage there.

For the in-between darker shades a solid fill circle prove quickest. I make sure to combine them into one big happy polygon using Multipoly: this way, I can grab them all in one go for colour edit (if desired).

Second time around, I left a gap between the water and edge of the cliffs. I wanted to add some nice foam patterns, and it turned out to be easier to work out the...uhm..negative negative spaces with the same colour and sheet as the rest of the water.

I am probably looking at treating myself to some "how to paint water" videos for the holidays or just the way water tends to behave. By and large I think I'm ready to move on to sort-of-dry-land.
