Limantour Beach

acrylic on canvas, 10" x 30"

This is an attempt at a seascape.  I battled with it mightily and perhaps should have stopped after the first session, as my paints had dried and I had to remix an approximation of the palette, which changed everything, of course.  Another challenge was presented by the yellow ochre ground on the canvas I had chosen.  I loved the yellow ground peeking through as the painting emerged, especially in the mid ground on the right.  This is not an accurate image of the painting, colorwise, and I may not be done with this one.  I need a break from it, though, and to come back with fresh eyes.
