Zephyr Cove reworked

It's interesting how things look different once you have different lighting on a painting. I realized that my Zephyr Cove painting did not have very much contrast...probably because I was out in the bright sun when I was painting it.
Once I got inside, I knew I needed to put more color into the water, but then I also worked more color into the mountains so that the white rocks would stand out more.

I also noticed how I "squished" the scenery in the photo to fit my painting and make the composition look better... artistic license! Next time maybe I will try using half of a horizontal sheet so I can stretch out the scenery more accurately.
