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.

SOLD  Went painting here today with an old friend, we had lots of fun catching up!  Weather was funny, I thought we were going to get rained out, it was totally cloudy and drizzly when I left home.  Then it cleared up nice and the sun came out.  It started getting cloudy with misty rain and wind and we decided to pack up.   I did some heavy editing of the scene, left out building, fence and lots of bushes and palm trees. The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite.
