Over the Dike, Lake Okeechobee, Florida Art

"Over the Dike"

9 x 12 inches,

Acrylic on hardboard

Here is another older one of the Lake. Below is a comparison to the same area (lock G36) when we had a drought for a couple of years. I was fascinated with the new bright greens that showed up more and more as the water receded. Haven't seen anything close to that since.

In the Morning, Lake Okeechobee

Acrylic 12 x 16

Sold

Had a request for paintings of Lake Okeechobee. I have done a lot of them, but it has been a while. This one is probably my favorite of all of the lake paintings I have done over the past 30 years. Hard to believe I have been here that many years! (I moved 15 times as a child and 5 times as a young adult.) I guess I wanted to settle down, ha ha ha!

As I painted it, I was singing a song that has this verse in it: "Oh Lord in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and will look up . . ." Psalm 5:3

Easy does It, Florida Art, palms, turtle, gator

"Easy Does It"

Love the little turtle on the trunk of the closer palm and the birds in the dead tree. I was inspired to paint this while out on a fishing trip. It is cool how the palms grow upward after being blown down in a storm. Cycles of life are so fragile, and so evident.

Enjoy!

Size: 24 x 30 inches

Winter Marsh, Florida landscape with egrets

"Winter Marsh"

This is an old favorite. Something about it speaks to me. Florida winters give way to some fall colors, and the memory of this day is windy and cold. Well, cold for us is in the 40's, but still, it is a nice change from the normal humid air. I also like the way the birds are flying out of the picture, you get the sense that they will be gone in a moment.

Acrylic on hardboard

9 x 12 inches

Great Egret, knife painting

Great Egret, class demo

9 x 12 inches, acrylic knife painting.

(Not Available)

Donated this painting for one of our raffles for the

Top of the Lake Art Fest,

as part of a fund raiser for Okeechobee Main Street,

who puts on the show every year.

This demo painting for my adult class did not start as a knife painting. We used brushes as I demonstrated each step. Then I added more detail to finish it up later and got carried away with the thick chunky paint (using a palette knife) for the bark on the tree. Did more knife work to the rest of the painting also. But I used a brush for the soft feathers of the egret, and the flowers. Love the contrast of the thick and thin applications of paint.

Congrats to Gloria Pitsch for winning this painting!

Healed, inspirational art, beach, girl, angel

"Healed"

Started this painting completely from memory. Made it up as I went along. (Used reference photos of different children to free-hand the girl onto the painting.)

This is all about inner healing, accepting yourself, forgiving yourself, and letting go of the past. But, sometimes we have to deal with the issues and do the hard work to get past it, which this painting really did for me as I struggled with my stormy past.

Lots of symbolism: The shadow of the cross, the face of Jesus in the sand, a dove hidden in the wave near her head (for the Holy Spirit), an angel dancing in the clouds, the heart shape encircling her, and the storm moving away.
