Saw this vista while driving north along the coast and it caught my eye. I alway hesitate to try such broad landscapes on small panels (9" x 12") but I found it really attractive. I also find that if I stop and think too much, that I can think of a multitude of reasons not to try and or do something new. My block in and my initial color work did not achieve the "sparkle" and attactiveness of the original scene, and I was disappointed, but could still see the potential in the piece. I find that 95% of the time I am disappointed with my first pass on a piece. If I stick with it, normally it will turn the corner.....and this one did! I have to always remember to persevere, and you will be rewarded.
