Its 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite. This was a fun one for me, I had started it awhile ago by putting the cloud glow in, I didn't want to throw away that nice bright color, it was some left over paint. Plus I like to have a start on a panel, it helps me think up something to paint.

Its 8 x 10, oil on plywood. I had this underway for awhile, I had it all finished except for the bird's beaks which were not showing up well. I had to let it dry and then paint over them. Of course then I tweaked here and there a bit more, I feel happy with it now.

Daily Painting 1306 Twilight Forest gumbo limbos
I had no idea what to paint so I thinned my paints way down and made the background, letting the oil paints flow like water colors. I looked at the result and I could see the trees so I removed some paint and added more and started having fun.I think they look a lot like gumbo limbo or tourist trees. This wasn't planned it just happened that way. Do you know why the gumbo limbo is also called the tourist tree?
Its 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite, $100.

Daily Painting 1297 SOLD Pelicans at the Fort Pierce Inlet
SOLD Finished this oil painting today 18.50 x 22 inches on masonite, I have been working and waiting for days on it. I let the different layers dry on big or complicated paintings so if I mess up I don't have to fix too much. I was glad I had, I was resting my little finger on the painting to steady my hand and got it into the wet wing. Then it got into the sky. I was able to clean it up without messing up my sky because I let it dry.It is from a park near where I live, its the Fort Pierce inlet to the ocean in the background. The inlet gets a strong current between the jetties. The rocks across the inlet in the back are just a row of big rocks and the ones in the front are paved so you can walk easy on them and go fishing. There is a fish cleaning station in front of the pelicans, they get scraps so there is lots of activity there. Free shipping.

Daily Painting 1296 Great American Egret by the Indian River
I just got into a discussion with my husband over the bird. I started to name the painting "White Bird by the Indian River." He asked what kind of bird is it and I told him its an American egret. He said I should name the painting with American egret instead of white bird.
Then he asked me if I am sure its the American egret and not the white heron. I told him I was pretty sure that is what it is, the heron has the long feathers on its head and yellow colored legs and lives South of us. Its getting really hard for me to name paintings for some reason. The painting is oil on plywood, 8 x 10 inches.

SOLD Daily Painting 1286 SOLD I'm Crabby are You?
SOLD Actually I am relieved the painting is finished! I painted it and thought it was done. Hubby points out her one eye and claw aren't reading well so I get out my paints and tiny brush and poke and prod at it for awhile, seeing other things that need fixing too. So I get the camera out and then look at my photo of the painting and see some other stuff wrong, get out the brush and paints, made sure it was signed.Painting this crab brought back some memories, when I was around 12 we went across the river to Little Mud Creek. We had some chicken parts and some nets, we would throw the parts into the river and the crabs would come to eat and we could net them up. My mother would cook them and we had them for dinner. Very sweet tasting.
The painting is 5 x 7 inches oil on archival mat board.

Daily Painting 1283 Rainbow Reef Fish Painting
I could have sworn I posted this one already, I was looking through my file and found it. I did it at the Art Bank on some of their open studio nights. I did the background first , let it dry, and then come back and see what I see in it. If I am lucky the fish hint that they are there and I just have to paint them the rest of the way in. They are fantasy fish, out of my head, the big ones look a bit like snook, haven't had any of that in years, snook are one of my favorite fish to eat. Maybe a bit of wishful thinking on my part.Its oil on archival mat board, 5 x 7 inches,

Daily Painting 1277 SOLD Camouflage Fish Painting
SOLD I had a time with this one, I started it at the art bank. (they have an open studio on Wednesday nights) I had the background in and my studio partner said she saw a fish in it. I took a look and sure enough, I saw him too. So I started painting him in today, after turning the painting upside down so the sea fan would be growing in the right direction. (click the painting, you can see the texture of the fan better then.)I started with a lion fish. Well, he didn't look good and there was a bunch of commotion going on in the house so I was distracted and I removed him. I put in the eye of the fish, it looked kind of like an eye there already and then the rest of the fish got painted with no more trouble.

I have always liked spoonbills and I felt like painting them. These are on the North Fork of the Saint Lucie river, I haven't seen them very often there so I was thrilled to get to see them this time.

Daily Painting 1269 Spoonbill Marsh
This was painted from a photo I took at Spoonbill Marsh. Its North of Vero, you need permission to go there. I am planning some paintouts there, and got to go on a tour of it. Its got a big long boardwalk. Vero's drinking water wells have some salt in them.They are using the marsh as a big experiment, they pump the salt water from the Vero wells into it so it doesn't go into the Indian river too fast. They have rafts of mangroves planted and oyster beds. All seem to be growing well.
There is a show planned for paintings from the paintouts in the fall.
The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite,
