Though both were lovely. I agree that this one is more successful. When painting into the sun, you're sure to be following one of the important painting precepts... you're squinting!

I like them both but I think the first one has more going on with reflections on the waves between the posts and the underside of the umbrella reflecting the water. I really like the outline of the light. Really wonderful.

Painter’s notes

The second painting from yesterday afternoon, simpler (if painting into direct sunlight can ever be called simple!) but more successful, I think, with the values/tone.
