I was really surprised with how much I liked this one once it was finished. I didn't think I was going to be able to convey how it felt that morning at East Beach, the early morning sun, trying hard to break through the last bit of lingering fog.
I painted the umbrella first in this picture, it was the part that I was most excited about, and I loved it even when nothing else was painted in. It made me wish I could always paint things that way.
