A portrait,  mixed media piece on gesso board, 6x6, Price $50.00, called "I't's All About the Hair." Something a little different for me and just fun to do. I already have another damsel in mind--lot's of crazy fun.

Ah, this one that I just finished. I did the whole basic design same day as the palmetto painting, and then hours trying to get that little guy. But I am pleased with the result. Can you find the ghost orchid?
8x10, oil, $90 "Finding the Ever Illusive Ghost Orchid"
Here we are back at Pine Preserves--decided to be bold with the palmettos. Probably should have added the mosquitos though with good ol Skin So Soft they weren't biting me.
6x6", oil, $50.  "Florida Palmetto"
Won't forget this day; was sitting on a wooden bridge under a hot sun until it rained until the wind picked up until it drizzled until it was sunny again. We all stuck it out, and I'm glad we did. I have had so many favorable comments about this painting; is it because I included Denny in it? Oh, it's Monet-like, which is one of my favorite artists.
8x10", oil, $110 "Denny in the Field"
Whew! The day at Bunch Beach was hot and at low tide, and for some reason I picked a low impact scene. Coming in for a landing could also speak for my attempts to add interest to all that sand.

 Nature, oil on gesso board, 12x14 inches, Price $110
"Shadows in the Sand"
If you look close enough there is all kinds of
beauty at the beach besides the water

A very hot day but I was under the bridge at north entrance of Lover's Key so it was bearable, although I was being watched the whole time by a yellow eyed egret. Ya, more scrub, but I did manage to get some water in there. How about those clouds!
8x10, oil, $90, "Time to Plunge in that Water"
