A fight to the finish


We drove down south today to Naalehu. Wonderful rocky coastlines and .....WIND! Set up to paint this rocky point and had much trouble shifting from realistic to abstract. I can't stop painting rocks instead of just massing them in, and I have trouble with the greens on top of the point......it keeps looking like a bad green toupee. After about an hours worth of painting in which my water blew over twice and my whole easel tipped over once, and I gashed open my hand trying to catch it................this is the results! I like the liveliness of the ocean.....this was a good learning experience.
