1772 Old Fort Park Vista, Plein Air

What I finished painting Thursday, started it last week.This is some more of my new technique. The first is the painting and the next is a close up so you can see the textures. Its 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite. I painted it totally on site in the two sessions. This will be our last outdoor session till the weather gets cooler again. It was 95F when I got home! I had lots of fun but I was wiped out from the heat.

1750 Down by the River Plein air alla Prima

It was really hard prying myself out of bed today, it was cold for here, 50 degrees. I was glad I went out, its been a beautiful day! This was at the Old Fort Park site here in Fort Pierce, looking down towards the river. I was in a nice sunny spot and got warmed up fast.

I was close to the road and some of the drivers slowed down to look. One stopped and yelled out that the painting was beautiful! The painting was at the stage of palm tree trunks with no leaves so I am not sure what he was seeing.
The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite. $200.

1687 Rising Tide, Old Fort Park, Plein air alla prima

This is down on the river bank by the Old Fort Park. The sea grape is leafing out with its bright leaves, I love how the sun shines through them like stained glass. Very windy and chilly, the painting was started and blew down on my palette right after I started so I had a line of dots on the bottom of the painting, it was fun to work with some un-planned colors. Then on the photo below, I was about half finished and you can see the tide is washing over my easel's feet. I somehow moved fast enough so I didn't get my feet wet. The small dark dot in the water by the sand bank is a bug, I'll remove it when its dry.

I really didn't want to get out of my nice warm nest this morning but I was glad I did, it was beautiful out.

Its 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite.
