If a plein-air landscape painter doesn't do a maritime theme on Long Island, it's like going to the Rockies and not painting mountains.  So I decided to look for more scenes with water along the south shore after completing a waterscape in Center Moriches.

I found this small harbor in Hampton Bay.  I loved the overall atmosphere of a quiet day here but, to create a better design in my painting, I had to rearrange some of the things I saw.

Although it might have been better to actually do a few quick thumb-nail sketches to work out compositions, I sort of did that in my head.  In fact, this is an important step of my painting process.  Just because something is there, we don't have to paint it as is.
