1788 In Full Bloom Mixed Media oil and water color painting

First painting after my cataract surgery, I was having fun with colors! I tried a new to me technique. I took a piece of watercolor paper, coated it with clear acrylic. This was to protect the paper from the oil paints. Then painted an under painting with watercolors. Then went over that with oils. It was about 5 sessions with letting it dry in between times and tweaks. Its a fun technique, something a little different. Its loosely based on a photo I took while I was at a Heathcote Botanical Gardens plant sale.

Its 9 x 11 inches, watercolor and oil on watercolor paper.

1742 Family Reunion Plein air

I painted this one a few weeks ago out at the Inlet State Park. I was tired and not too happy with the way it looked so I let it sit for awhile.
About a week ago I tweaked it a little and still wasn't happy. Today I picked it up and I think its finally finished! Originally it was very even, palms were very much alike, same colors in them, foreground and background boring. I fixed up the sea grapes under the palms and added the one in the left background. I added the trail and made some of the palms come forward and some go into the back. Some are thinner and some thicker. It made me think of families, how in most families there are differences and similarities in how they look. That is how I came up with the title.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite,

A fellow came up to me and said he had known the owner when he was growing up. He said it was fun taking the tour, Mr. Gardener had all kinds of memories from when he had lived there.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite. Gifted.
