I tried an 11"x14" panel today at one of the local beaches. It was a sunny clear sky, mid-day, but the good part was that I could view my subject from under the shelter of a picnic pavillion roof. I'm getting better at abstracting shapes of color, instead of trying to "paint things". The colors of this say Hawaii to me. I think I may make a few minor alterations to this back in the studio, such as creating a gap in the rocks to invite the viewer all the way into the scene, and adjusting the shadow shapes a bit, to differentiate them from being part of the trees. After I complete these revisions, I will repost the piece to compare the differences.
