Cabbage Palm Study, reworked

"Cabbage Palm Study"

About This Painting:
I went back and strengthened this little plein air painting so the tree trunk would show better. It just seemed to get lost in the background, so I added the reflected light on the left of the trunk and darkened the shadows in the background.

Ready to frame.

Paradise, palms at sunset

"Paradise"

About This Painting:
Here is another art lesson I did last week, I have gone back and added more details and a second palm. I like the shades of purple and pink.

This type of painting is so popular, and so fun to paint. We start with an idea from a "how to paint" book, and then we add our own colors and move things around a bit. I take my students through the painting one step at a time, and still each painting turns out different and unique!

Ready to frame.

Lover's Lane, Beach Sunset

"Lover's Lane"

About This Painting:
This started as a demo, and I have gone back and added a lot of waves and sea grapes. The couple was fun to add too. The palms are from a plein air painting I did last year, only I put them by the ocean instead of the Indian River.

I wanted to get this done before Valentines, but it never worked out . . . Oh well! I like the very impressionistic feel it has, I tried not get too carried away with the detail, and keep it loose, but I tend to keep adding and fixing, so it ended up with birds, and people, and lots of wind and splash!

Ready to frame.

SeaGrapes, Plein air study

150

"SeaGrapes, Study"

About This Painting:
Went to Fort Pierce today and painted with Lori McNamara's plein air group. This is the second of two I did. It was alla prima, fast, loose and all palette knife. Too much fun. I like working on location: fresh air cool breeze, and warm sun. It was a perfect day.

Drama Queen, double hibiscus

"Drama Queen"

About This Painting:
I have been working on this large format off and on for a few months now. This is the second in a series of these large florals, but I had to put them aside before I got very far. Now that my husband is well, I am getting back to some of my goals and ambitions. Life is getting better everyday!

Painting continues on sides, framing is optional.

Be Mine, heart shaped diamond

"Be Mine"

About This Painting:

I actually painted this gem before I painted "Be Mine Again" a few days ago. But I didn't want to post this one until today, so it will show up on my DP page tomorrow, for Valentines.

This was a fun and special painting because it is symbolic of my engagement ring. I exaggerated the colors and set it all off on red.

Robert asked me to marry him on Valentine's Day nine years ago. We were walking at sunset down at the lake, as we so often did. He told me that of all the women he had known I was the only one he wanted to spend his whole life with. He had already picked out two or three rings, and we went a few days later to choose which one I wanted. The large heart shaped diamond was his first choice, so of course it was my choice too! It is a wonderful reminder of that special day.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Early Morning, misty stream

"Early Morning"

I wanted to capture the first bit of light coming through the mist. I love the morning fog coming off of the water, that is always a challenge to create. I also like the way the tree stands out. I added the flowers to brighten up the overall mood.

Enjoy!
