After starting a painting of some cedars catching the sun on edge of a salt marsh, I looked back toward the sun to see this view. I switched subjects right then and there. Deterred by a swarm of noseums–a predictable event at sunset in a saltmarsh– I left the details unresolved, but I was able to finish it up a few days later.
