Ho'okena Beach painting

We painted south of Kona Friday, at Ho'okena Beach, where I'd never been before. There were dramatic cliffs in the distance so I figured I'd go full acid color. LOL. Limited my palette a little, to 8 colors, and yet produced one of my most colorful scenes. Tried 3 colors last week but blue, orange, and white don't produce any greens so didn't work well to paint trees here in Hawaii. Here I used 2 blues (phthalo and ultramarine), yellow, red, purple, orange, burnt umber for a dark, and white.
