		   	Thanks very much to Paul, Txules, Roberto, Cetin and Roger for  taking the time to view and comment... many thanks... 
  Roberto...to answer your question it is a process I developed myself....it involves using  a multi layered texture in  PSD format and working with those layers all at the same time... hope that helps :)

		   	Hi Nick,  I like your idea of the overlying texture. It gives a special atmosphere as it is painter“s work. It would maybe a challenge but I would suggest that only the dark spot at the right should be reduced a bit such that it does not overlay and connect sky, sea and beach with its own pattern. It would be nicest to keep the separation of the 3 basic components in some way with e.g. 3 independent overlays.  7/7 because your work stands out anyway.  best wishes,  Paul
