I am naming the painting "Its Me or Marty" or "Little Jim's Bait and Tackle" The guy by the truck was walking towards us so I painted him in, thinking that spot in the painting needed something. He came over to look and I asked him who he thought it was and he said "its me or Marty." Below is the man and the truck and above is the whole painting. Its plein air, alla prima, it was a beautiful, breezy day. My group of painters, the Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast will be painting there again this tuesday. Its a fun place to paint with lots of things going on, boats and birds and interesting people. The painting is 8 x 10, oil,

This scene reminds me so much of our trips to Florida when I was just a kid. We always stopped at the local bait shops...my dad never met a stranger, so we got all the latest news, including the 'hot' fishing spots. Thanks for the memories!!
Thanks BJ, That would make a nice series of paintings, bait shops from all over! The fellows at Little Jim's have all been awfully nice. One time one of the ladies from our group locked herself out of her car and one of them got it open for her.
Lori - you really captured the ambiance of the Little Jim Bait shop!
Thanks Julie!
Cool painting. You put a lot of interesting strokes in a small space.
Thanks Bill, I had fun with it, it took longer than usual.
so cool to see the same subject painted in different styles
Thanks Cecelia, I liked seeing yours too!
