Second day painting on location in Tofino, Vancouver Island. Nice day. Dull. No sun to worry about. Same light on palette, on supports and on subject. But then need to push the final colour a bit to give it punch.

Cute anecdote. I dragged my umbrella and acrylic cart along the beach from the RV to where I was painting. On the way back my hands were covered in paint and I was tired and grubby. Dragging my equipment along through the sad a cute little guy with an Aussie accent came up to me and asked " Hi mister. Are you a homeless person?"
