En Plein Air: Woody Working on His Sailboat (Oil, 9 x 13)

As planned, I went this afternoon to Woody's docks while he was working on the sailboat. It was a beautiful day, with low humidity and a little breeze which made it really comfortable staying outdoors. My purpose was to paint people in the sun, maybe inspired by Joaquin Sorolla Y Bastida. Of course, the best place is the beach where the sunshine, especially the reflection is strong, but I was dreading the crowd. The quick sketch is not focused on people. Just a study of sunlight.
