Green Harbor Panorama

Green Harbor Panorama - Stage One
I used a new size canvas for this plein air painting.   It measures 12 x 24 inches and seemed just the thing for a long shoreline and horizon depiction of lovely Green Harbor.   The extra width of the canvas let me comfortably include the public beach steps, the seawall with beachhouses, Burke's Beach, Brant Rock beachhouses, the jetty and a little bit of ocean horizon.  

The photograph to the right does not show accurately how much orange there was in the boulders and the sand.   In the final version of the painting, I exaggerated the orange because the blue/orange scheme is so striking a contrast.  The only thing I may still do is add some seagulls, or maybe an osprey.
