1711 Egrets in the Savannas, plein air

This was painted out at the Savannas Recreational Area on Midway Road back in March of this year, if you look back through the paintings you can see another one I did about a week before this one. I had planned to tweak it a bit but forgot about it and just now got around to finishing it. I remember it was really nice weather, not too hot or anything, now its in the high 90's!

Its 8 x 10 inches, Oil on masonite. Lots of nice textures.

1707 Parakeet Plant and Monstera Minature Oil Painting

This is Daily Painting 382 revisited, I never cared much for the composition, I am a lot happier with it now. I felt like it needed some more colors. I changed it from a traveler's palm into a heliconia or parakeet plant.

Its little, 4 x 6 inches,
