Zihuatanejo Redux

This is the waterfront at my favorite Mexican destination. Love the hustle of the seaside shops and restaurants. The brilliant sun gives wonderful cast shadows which are painted cool because of the warm sun. I have painted many of the streets in this town and there is a tyranny of detail to sort through. It is difficult to eliminate so much.

Searching for Sea Shells

Another beautiful day on Cape Cod. I painted this in the morning and will probably look at it and do some changes. Here, the light is so special and the air so clear. This has to be good for your lungs and your spirit. The Cape is basically one long sand dune and there are dunes everywhere. People grow gardens and lawns on the two inches of turf that can cover the dunes but you need plenty of watering because it is the best drained area in the world.
