Tahunanui, back beach

Again, a very hot day, and good to be able to stand under the shade of a tree and paint.

This is part of the back beach at Tahunanui, Nelson's big beach. A favourite dog walking area, as they can roam free, off their lead. I was visited by several dogs while I was painting this. They are always glad to see something a little different.

Being so bright today there was a lot,of contrast, but I did not want to play the heavy shadow game, so I went all light and Inpressionist instead. I think it works. I'll try again soon.
