1791 Beautiful Day in the Savannas Oil Painting

Finally posting something recent for a change! This is from Thursday's paintout in the Savannas Recreational Area here in Ft. Pierce off Midway Road.

It was a disaster of an October, my husband ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure, he is home now and seems to be doing well. I got a bug and had to go to the doctors, the stress sent my blood pressure up and the medications did not agree with me. First caused heart palpitations and next made me so dizzy I fell down a couple of times. All is well now with me, blood pressure is down to a low normal on no meds.
Then our toilet stops flushing! Septic tank filter was clogged. Great timing!
So I finally go painting, this is mostly from life but I had to tweak it some at home, I was a bit rusty! Its 8 x 10 inches, oil on Masonite, lots of textures, its almost all painting knife.

1740 Outback in Indrio Savannas Plein air alla prima

I have been wanting to paint this scene for some years now, its a big hike for me. I figured if I was going to do it, it better be now before I get much more creaky. You walk down the main trail and then take the second left over a little bridge and walk about 10 more miles...well its only about half a mile all together, there and back.

Beautiful day, lots of fish jumping around and I heard a lot of gators grunting. A couple of hikers said they saw five snakes today and a bunch of scrub jays, I didn't see any snakes but I saw a couple of jays.

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

1724 Water Hyacinths at Indian Hills Recreation Area South, Plein Air Alla Prima

I did this Thursday with the Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast. It was hard to get started painting, there are lots of nice views there and I was having a lot of fun visiting. We are planning on going there again next Thursday. The clouds were beautiful, it was perfect out, not too hot or cold.

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