I have painted this scene more times than any other spot on the planet (there it is, again, on this page), so I know I want to separate the foreground landmass from the background. On this day, the darks in the distance looked just as dark as those in the foreground, and the driftwood logs on the beach appeared lighter than anything up close. To make the space believable, I lied.

Taking its exposure reading from the light opening in the center, the camera does not show much detail in the foreground darks. As a photo, the image of Mercado Benito Jaurez, Oaxaca, is moody and intriguing, but as a painting those big, empty darks would be too large a percentage of the picture to devote to a lot of nothing.
