1774 Wafting White Water Lily

 This started out badly, I was trying a different technique, negative painting with water soluble oil paints. So it was sort of new to me, I have done negative painting before but not trying to do a whole painting just parts of them. Negative painting is working from front to back, it messes with your mind in a fun but sometimes frustrating way. So foreground things are painted first and the background is painted around them. Then in the end up it turned into more of one of my normal paintings. There is the final painting and a wip below. Right before the end the painting was taken to the sink and washed off, something I hadn't done with water soluble oils. I wasn't sure if the whole thing would come off or not. It stayed and I decided I didn't like the plants on the right so rubbed them out. Click them to see bigger. Painting is 9 x 12 inches, oil on canvas mounted on masonite.

1737 Alligator Morning Plein Air Alla Prima

I had lots of fun painting this on Thursday, just now posting it!  It was a beautiful morning, lots of nice, puffy clouds.  When I got up in the morning I thought it would be just blue skies because it was very foggy.  But by the time I got out to the paintout site it looked like this.  Not too hot or cold, just right. This was painted at the Savannas Recreational area, one of my favorite places to paint.  All my troubles melt away its so peaceful there.

 Saw lots of little alligators and saw lots of birds.  Heard the birds and gators too, the mother or father alligator must have been pretty close.  It sounded like it was coming from across the water behind the golden reeds.  If you look closely you can see a moorhen, alligator and grackle.

Oh, tomorrow,  FEB 10  10 to 3 is the Treasure Coast Party in the Park, at the Inlet State Park on north beach.  I am going to be there and have some of my paintings there too.  Free admission!  There are lots of other things going on too, scroll down, you can read more about it. 

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