Last week's work

Here are two 8x10's, and an 11x14 finished this past week.First two are from Manini Beach, one a view across the bay and another one of a beautiful tree, a subject I don't usually choose but was helping another artist and she chose that to try to paint. It was a challenge as the decision what to put around the tree is the difficult one. I added the bay which was out of the picture field but was needed. 

The larger work is an old building in Hualaloa village near me. I'm trying to do more architecture at times so liked this building. I feel I didn't get enough light and dark contrast as it was mid-day and the sun did not create any good shadows.Will need to return in the evening or morning to see if it's better but the sun will be coming from in front and or behind, versus the nice side angle which would create the best shadows.
