Enjoying the Beach

Back to acryics.  I started painting this with oils on a bigger canvas.  I had drawn it on newspaper pad from a photo I took at Hampton Beach.  I drew it with charcoal.  I then rubbed pastel on the back where the lines were.  Then when you lay it on a tinted canvas and draw over the lines with a pencil the white pastel transfers to the canvas.  So after I started painting with oil on the bigger canvas, I decided there was just too much empty space.  So instead of redrawing it, I transferred the drawing to a smaller canvas.  I am happy with it.  I may change the colors of the umbrellas just a bit.

I added stuff to fill in the bottom right corner.  Is the design better?
