Charlevoix beach scene II - step III... textures are what the doctor ordered!

This is my second attempt at emphasizing textures while applying paint (I used to do textures and painting separately!)... and I seem to be getting the knack of it. I have never seen contemporary work without bold textures... so I better get used to it! I seem to be going from "image maker" to painter, all of a sudden...

A third pass should do it...
I could have gone more "expressive" with this one... but somehow, as I am painting the "Muse"... I feel compelled to stay in the realm of the figurative!
