A walk along the Nea Chora Beach, Chania, Crete

Chania, Crete, 22" x 15".
I haven't uploaded a beach scene for a bit, so here is one. This is the 'Nea Chora' Beach in Chania, the main coastal town in Western Crete. I changed quite a bit from my reference photo. I was there on a short trip one October. The skies were gloomy and overcast. I decided to change my painting into more of a sunny summer scene. I warmed up the sky with cobalt blue and a little alizarin crimson. I used the 'wet in wet' technique for the couple of breaking waves and the distant coast.
