I hope the warmth of the morning sun comes through in this painting...that was my goal.
There was the texture of sand, small stones, etc. and I had to bite my brush not to start in with those kind of details and just keep it simple...practice what I preach! The painting told me when to stop....really this does happen. Would love to hear your own experience and conversations with your own paintings. If I'm the only one....I'll be thinking I need to get out of the studio more!

Oh no, you aren't the only one. We're lucky when that happens.
This is beautiful.
