Looking South from Heisler Park

This painting's vantage point is from Heisler Park in Laguna Beach facing south.  I am just north of the gazebo above the beach on the walk way.  The challenge for this painting was capturing the shadows because I was painting late into the afternoon.  Another challenge was that there were shadows from the trees behind me dancing across my painting surface.  The sun was so bright and low on the horizon it made picking my colors more difficult.
