"Palms and White Sand"

This is an older piece that started as a plein air
painting. I was very new to plein air and ended
up working on it more at home - really over working
it. But, I still felt it had value so I simplified and
revised a couple of areas recently and like it much
better. The spot is really unique - it is in a park
in the busiest part of Winter Park and is totally
secluded. This is a small creek with white sand
running throughout the park. Quote: "You can
always tell a man who thinks he is smarter than
others, but you can't tell him much."
