Vieques - Hectors by the Sea Southwest View

Hector's Southwest View - Mid-Stage

At Hector's by the Sea, Vieques, Puerto Rico, there are scenic views in every direction.   Toward the bottom of the property closest to the ocean, there is a large, open-air covered patio used for special events.   On this day we were the only people using the space, and it was perfect for painting while avoiding the strong midday sun.  

Most residents of Vieques have horses and there are three pet horses on this property.   They usually wander the property during the day, pretty much ignoring guests - even if you walk close by.   During the paint out, the horses were still in their corral allowing me to capture one horse posing at the fence (Bella? I think).

The colors were so bright, warm and yellow - almost blinding.  Afterall, I have been accustomed to the white, black and gray of our
New England winter of 2015.  I felt like I was forcing the bright yellow while applying it, but upon review, even more could have been added!  Photographs lie, especially in translating yellow, so you'll have to believe me....the yellow was there in abundance.
