Our Airbnb in Mazatlan is such a good place for sketching. It is on the fourth floor, overlooks the ocean, and a very steep hill rises to the left. About an hour before sunset the sun aligns with the street and floods it with a bright golden light. This afternoon I worked on capturing it, painting as quickly as I could in gouache.

Sheila, I feel so encouraged from when I read your comments, thank you! I am hoping for similar lighting this afternoon so I can have a second go at this subject, I am so lucky to have this view.
