Low Water, Impressionism landscape, Daily Painting


"Low Water"
8 x10 inches
Acrylic on watercolor paper 

I painted this from memory. Lake Okeechobee is even lower now. All of this area used to be knee deep! Now the mud and grass go almost back to the horizon. Oddly beautiful. Sad and unbelievable, yet the colors of the tender new grass are so brilliant.

Cool Down, Horse, impressionism, Daily Painting



"Cool Down"


I have worked on this painting a little every day this week. I have had so many interruptions that I wasn't sure I would ever finish it! I got up early this morning and stole a couple of hours!

I was studying the effects of the light and of the wind. I kept trying to show both. Florida gets miserably hot, and then the wind picks up and the rain clouds roll in. The animals head to the barn. But just before the sun hides behind the clouds there is a wonderful array of contrast on everything. That is what I was trying for, but I didn't capture it until this morning.

Over the Dike, Impressionism Daily Painting

"Over the Dike"
Pein Air painting
9x12
Acrylic on hardboard

Did this painting back in November. Lake Okeechobee looks very different now. The sand bars and the mud are everywhere. The lake hasn't ever been so low, at least not that anyone has record of. I hope I can get out and paint it soon, I've been so busy with getting final exams ready and grading final projects at school that I haven't painted much lately. I am so ready for summer! smile.

This painting started as a sky-scape. Just studying the shadows in the thunderheads we had this week. We are in a severe drought, so the storms are a welcomed sight. We had half of a tree in our driveway yesterday! Took all day today to clear it.
