Eagle Bay 3, Impressionism Landscape, Daily Painting

"Eagle Bay 3"
8 by 10 inches
Acrylic on watercolor paper



This is Eagle Bay now, with out very much rain in 5 months. All of the bright yellow green areas used to be full of water. There were no birds around either, which is unusual. It is raining off and on today, everyone is so grateful!
Yesterday's post shows the same area just before the drought had set in.

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.

This Great Egret reminded me of all the unseen wildlife all around. These birds are gorgeous with their long plumes. The title refers to so many things we miss everyday that declare the Creator's love for us.
