On Wednesdays me and a few of my friends go out someplace and do landscape painting or drawing. The sun moves quickly so the brush moves quickly too. I'm learning to be choosey about my details, and I'm coming to terms with the fact that I gotta fake stuff if I wanna get done before my subject is lost in the darkness.
There was so much to this scene. I was very careful about laying out the right colors in the right places and leaving the tinier objects, like small leaves and grasses for the end, but the end came quick. It got dark out, the colors changed, and I had to leave it be.
Some of the rocky area came out nice. The water was rushed and needed to be handled with more sensitivity. 
I really just wish I had more time to get the bricks in the foreground right. I'm pretty happy with the top half of the painting.

Nice technique.
The first one is my favorite. The water on that on is real nice.
The ocean one is really cool.
