Vieques - Mouth of Media Luna Beach

Mouth of Media Luna - Stage One

This post describes the last plein air painting of our trip to beautiful Vieques, PR - and the second painting of the day.   Although I was a little wary of travelling home with wet paintings, using up the rest of the paint on my palette trumped the aforementioned concern.   Not wasting any paint resulted in a very thick and juicy rendering!



This lovely little beach, like all the others, was almost deserted and just as picturesque.    Media Luna's opening to the Caribbean Sea is depicted in this scene.  There were rock formations on each side, natural breakers for the large surf beyond, so it was very nice for swimming and snorkeling.    Although I'm always happy to get home, the warm, tropical look and feel already seems like ages ago!  

Here's hoping for some Massachusetts "local color" very soon, beyond black, white, grey and tan!
