Sabal Palm Window

Just finished this over the week end. I am enjoying summer vacation which allows me to paint more regularly.

Path Leading Out Of The Forest

Despite steamy humidity and relentless mosquitos I was able to finish this in the nearby park. I love the different color tones on the sandy path. The idea was to give the mood of the shady coolness in contrast to the intense sunlight in the background. Hope you like it.

Board Walk Entrance

The latest result of hanging out at the park on Saturday mornings. Recent snow storms up North are bringing cooler temperatures to us here in South Florida as well, meaning the weather is now beautiful and pleasant. The best of it all is that there are no mosquitos!!!

Lily Pads

The challenge of a windy Saturday morning in the park. The reflections in the water kept on changing so rapidly that I had difficulty "to freeze them in time". The fun of painting on location is to put down what is in front and not touch it anymore - even though a million temptations are creeping up..... The key is working rapidly or only for an hour or two if it is a bigger painting and come back another day at the same time and weather condition. I really like the water plants and sky reflections on the water. I plan to come back for those.
