This painting is the result of an art teacher's tip. If you don't like the whole painting save the part that you do. This is an 8x10 that came from a 16x20 and is just a fantasy out of my head, done in acrylic. It's an overgrown garden and the view is from the back of the house.
8x10", acrylic, $90, "View From the Back"

Here is a piece that is 24x36" done in acrylic of a view off of Matlacha Bridge in Florida which I had done for showing in our art league. It was all done in studio and received many favorable comments from fellow artists. Must admit, I don't like painting ladders but the tree was most fun.

This piece was selected for a national show four years ago in Punta Gorda, Florida and is done with layered acrylic. It is a bigger piece, 16x20", than the ones I have been blogging, which are either 8x10 or 6x6. It's called Tapestry of Roses. $425

Our plein air group goes to many forest preserves in Florida--as you can see our "forests" are mostly scrub brush. This is still in acrylic which I have given up using because it just dried too fast in open air. What do you know, not much purple in this one but trying out different greens and beginning to experiment with the palette knife.

I sold this piece at our two day art festival at Cape Coral Art League. It was started on site at Jaycee Park and finished in my studio. I was just beginning to do plein air but as you will see from the following paintings I really caught the bug and have been painting with Lee Plein Air Group regularly for many months. You can see some of my work if you go to Facebook under the above name.

Walking the Beach

This is a selfie that I painted for a show at the Art for Act Gallery. It was in acrylic which took FOREVER, mostly because all the flowers were vying for attention! NOT FOR SALE 20x24"
