I went to Westport Harbor today............took a ton of photos, did a painting and took a long walk on Horseneck Beach. I always seem to take a lot of photos this time of year in case I want to paint from them during the grey days. I really don't like using photos but they come in handy as a sort of pattern at times. Photos never represent the color as I remember and seem to reduce the depth of a scene. Horseneck is a state beach in Westport, MA and densely crowded during the summer - today there was hardly anyone else there although one old guy seemed to actually be swimming! The painting is 8x10" on a wood panel.
