   Nice. Did you take notes on the colors you observed at the beach, or was this from memory?

   Thanks Randy. I didn’t take any notes. I don’t know if I got the colors exactly right, but this is more or less how I remembered them. I think the canopy thing had green stripes, the chest under it was red, the chair was yellow and the parasol was white and orange. As for the rest of it, I pretty much guessed or did what I thought worked. When it came to coloring the many tents and parasols way in the background, I referred to a photo, but I didn’t follow it exactly. I just looked at some of the many colors in my photo and put them together the way I wanted. I colored it in Photoshop.

   Thanks! I saw that before, yeah. But I haven’t really explored it very much in depth. It seems interesting, though. The color-blindness simulation is a neat function. Makes me wonder how some of my color artwork would look to those folks.

   Gah! This is gorgeous!

   I’m both inspired and disgusted–with myself, lol!
   I love the style of this…man.
