1787 June-Ann's Palm Trees Plein Air alla Prima

"June-Ann's Palm Trees" I painted this yesterday in June-Ann's lovely yard with my painting group, The Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast. We had a super time, June-Ann took me on a tour of her home and I got to see her wonderful collection of paintings. She served us iced tea and cookies they were an unexpected treat. I had fun on the way over to her house, there are lots of peacocks wandering around the neighborhood, we could hear them calling while we were painting.

Its 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite.

1730 Sunny Impatiens, Plein Air Alla Prima

Painted this the other day at Heathcote Botanical Gardens, these impatiens were glowing in the sun. I had a lot of fun painting with my friend Betty. We had left our orange paint at home, I remembered I had pink opera paint and gave her some. It makes a super orange when mixed with yellow. With these flowers here I needed a cool red like alizarin crimson, I had left mine at home and she gave me some of hers.
The painting is 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite.

Daily Painting 1359 Winter in Heathcote Botanical Gardens Plein Air Alla Prima

Perfect day today, the main difficulty I had was there is so much to choose from to paint! Those are impatiens in the flower pot and some kind of begonia with huge leaves next to it. In the back is the bauhinia orchid tree which is in bloom too. The bright pink plant is a dracaena.

The painting is in oil, nice thick texture. Its 8 x 10 inches,
