Early in the morning, as I faced this view, the sun was above the hills and shining in my face. It glittered off of the tops of the palm trees. It lighted the ridges of the mountains.
This is a field study of this scene. I messed up the values a bit. I think it was because I did not use an umbrella. When your painting is in the shade, but the pastels are in the sun, it can mess you up a bit. I can either work on it at home, or start a new one with my photo and this painting as a reference.
