A ground of light turquoise. Phthalos green and blue and titanium white.  The sky with sweeping clouds and the turquoise sea. From the sea, an island has emerged Blocked in the foreground image of the fantasy steps with dark tones. Dabbing in a few highlights of rocks, steps and foliage. Now for the icing on the cake... the addition of flowers plus 2 birds aaaaaand I'm done. I’m so happy with the way this turned out. It's not my usual fare. Thanks once again to TAS !
