December 30, 2011: Evening setting in over MacArthur Park

This work was started on the beach near MacArthur Park, Singer Island, Florida.

The beach was no place to do the line work (and I was running out of daylight) so I took it back to the house. On the next day I applied more berry pigment and did the black line work.
