ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE, 8X6, OIL

A few weeks ago, I awoke early, grabbed a cup of coffee and my camera and headed off to my favorite park on the inter-coastal.  I was rewarded with a peaceful morning, arriving just as daylight was breaking.  A blue heron was perched on a piling, contemplating breakfast, with the sun backlighting the scene.  

How could I not paint it??  Well, I didn't even try to resist.  A month from now, it may be 95 degrees with 100% humidity and everyone who lives in the southeast may be wondering, why??  I will have this little reminder of why.  For someone else, it may be a snow shovel or bad back, but for me, this will do the trick.

HOUSE ON THE POINT, 6X8, OIL

Another in my mini-series of Florida houses on the water.  This house is on a point of land  that juts out into the inter-coastal waterway.  This is a view from a nearby public park.  I love to visit the park early in the morning.  It is so very peaceful.




  The water is still, herons are fishing for breakfast, there may be a fisherman with his cast net or a small boat motoring out into the inter-coastal.  Later in the day it becomes a busy place but at seven in the morning, with a cup of coffee in my hand, it's heaven to me.

THREE PALMS, 10X8, OIL, SOLD

Every once in a while I like to do a palette knife painting.  This one started out with a brush, but as I was working on it it insisted I use a knife.  These three palms are on the shore of the inter-coastal waterway in Florida somewhere around Sebastian.

SAIL THE INTER-COASTAL, 20X24, ORIGINAL OIL

I have been gone for a few days, a quick trip to Washington DC, and now that I am home again I realized that a new post was way overdue! It's amazing how important this blog and all the blogs I follow, have become. I miss checking in on everyone when I am gone, and I do feel an obligation to keep mine updated. It has been such a wonderful trip for me to get comments from all of you about my art. I think I have gained confidence and my paintings have become stronger because of it. So, thank you, I appreciate each and every comment and the knowledge that you come to my site on a regular basis. You have all become very important to me.
