A quick post from a favorite location. I’m at day two on this pastel painted on the beach at Halona Cove, also known locally as Eternity Beach. It is, as I’ve said, something like trying to paint the inside of a washing machine, but so beautiful that you simply give it your best.
We’ve had the finest three days of weather imaginable, and I’m loaded and ready to go back to work on this today at 2:30. The light drops off quickly down here after it passes behind Koko Crater, and there’s a lot to do on this yet.
My goal is to keep this painting fresh and true…my relationship with pastel is changing some, I’m after a broader look and more energy these days, though I’m uncertain how it’s going to play out. I want to do with a couple strokes what used to take many, which is perhaps impossible. Going to try, anyway.

I’ll see about getting some work in progress shots today.
