Daily Painting 1186 Waves in the Indian River
I am finally getting back to painting and blogging. I had the bug from Hell, it lasted almost two months. I would get a bit better and then have to go back on another antibiotic. Its been a week now since the last antibiotic, hopefully it is finished for good now.
The painting is 8 x 10, oil on masonite. Its almost all painted with the palette knife and has super texture. I had fun painting it, it was nice to get back to painting, it feels like forever.

Daily Painting 1185 Palm Shadow
I haven't posted for awhile, helped put on the art show that was this weekend at Heathcote Botanical Gardens. It was a beautiful weekend and a nice show. Wore me out though! I can't believe I got this up tonight, its supposed to be a hard freeze tonight so we brought all my orchids and tender plants inside and covered the rest up. Its a job and a half, I have too many plants! The painting is oil, 5 x 7 inches, framed,

Daily Painting 1168 Pads 'n Palms Plein Air Alla Prima
There is a little story about the palm trees, the two behind the egret. Used to be three, there is the horizontal stump right in back of the bird. I painted that tree, oh maybe seven years ago with the other two, then it was taken out by hurricane Jeanne or Frances. The reason they grew like that is because they had gotten knocked flat by a hurricane years ago, then grew back towards the sun. Its oil on masonite, $200.

Daily Painting 1160 Blue Sea Fan
Some of you may have noticed this had been sold. Some patrons of mine purchased it for a gift and then the recipient saw another painting they liked better and they wanted to trade. So I said all right and it is back again. LOL!
Well actually its aqua and pink too. I was stumped for a title tonight. Its 5 x 7 inches on gessoed archival mat board.

Daily Painting 1157 Water Lily Day Plein Air Alla Prima
I went out painting with fellow Daily Painter Fawn McNeil Barr today.
It was wonderful! Hundreds of water lilies, all shades of pink,
white and bright fuchsia,
they were growing all over.
...I did one painting, was going to do more but this big egret came walking by,
right in front of me,
he was catching blue dragonflies!
Then some ibis came along too,
I just sat and watched and took photos.
I figured I could paint from them.
I am thinking if I paint these things,
nobody will believe me,
big white birds and big pink waterlilies!
Not too hot or cold,
lovely breeze, just perfect.
The painting is oil 8 x 10 inches on gessoed plywood, I did it on site from life.Monday, October 04, 2010

Daily Painting 1143 Moth Orchids phalaenopsis orchid
I painted these from a photo I took at Heathcote Botanical Gardens here in Fort Pierce. I took a whole lot of artistic license with them, not sure if there are any exactly like this in real life, you never know though, there are so many different kinds. This painting took four sessions to do, with drying time between each session. The painting is 5 x 7, oil on gessoed archival mat board.

SOLDI haven't posted lately but I have been painting, I have, oh, about 10 starts. Backgrounds in, middles of paintings in, lots of tweaking to do! I have a couple of orchids I am almost finished with, they look a bit flat so they need some minor tweaking too but they need to dry first. Finally finished this one today. It has some cool textures, click on it to make it bigger.
