1823 Path by the Old Tree Plein Air

 

I painted this yesterday with my group, Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast. It was perfect out, nice breeze and not too hot. I had been a little worried about rain but it was fine. This is right when you drive into Becker Preserve. I have been wanting to paint this scene for ages, it is usually too bright with no shade for me. The sun stayed behind the trees till I was almost through with the painting. Painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil paint on masonite.

1822 Heathcote Pathway Plein Air

1820 Along the Garden Path

 Did this at Heathcote Botanical Gardens here in Fort Pierce. The painting is oil on masonite, plein air, 8 x 10 inches. Donated to the gardens. It is one of my favorite places to paint. 

I had lots of fun painting there as always and visiting with everyone.

1819 Going Nowhere Fast

 

 Finally posting a fairly new one, this was from Thursday before last, did mostly on site, tweaked some at home. It was a super day, had lots of fun, talked with everyone, an airboat captain came by, his customers had decided to do something else so he came over and visited with us. He had some nice stories.

Jackie Schindehette visited, she was one of Beanie Bakus's students too. The Beanie Backus Museumand Gallery had a bunch of his old paints, never opened and she got them. He bought them by the case, she got a whole lot of different browns. She gave us all some, and I used a couple in this painting. It was lots of fun using them, they are still nice and juicy and dried fine.

It has been kind of busy lately in my non- art life. I haven't had much time to tweak paintings or post them. "Going No Where Fast!" It is at White City park, oil on canvas, 16 x 20 inches. $400. message me if interested.
