Rocky Shoreline in Tropical Paradise

Tropical Rocky Shore - Stage One
Moist tropical breezes, warm turquoise water and "effectual" sunshine.  Is there any wonder why these came to mind on this, the night of shoveling out from yet another snowstorm - this time wet heavy snow.     Continuous cold and snow is to be expected for this northern latitude, but by working on this painting (started last spring), I relived a bit of the tropical attributes of Vieques, Puerto Rico.   On this unspoiled oasis, the absence of commercial development was astounding,   We literally saw no other people as we trekked and waded for more than a mile along this rocky shore - half in the water and half on the sand.     The strong sun made all the colors look brighter and more vivid water, rocks and palm trees.    And it looks so warm!
