Kayak at Alpine Groves

This was created "en plein air"
on location at Alpine Groves park
on the St. Johns River near Switzerland,
FL. I participated in the paint-out to
benefit the North Florida Land Trust.
It was so hot that I got on the dock where
there was a breeze. The kayak kept moving
around but I waited for this position. It is
a very green painting but I was happy with
the results.

At Beluthahatchee

I did this in two days at a paint -out
sponsored by the Florida Land Trust
called "Painting the Region". This
particular spot is on a little swampy
creek called "The Beluthahatchee". It
is very close to the St. Johns River. The
first day I painted in the background and
the tree shapes which were all reflected
in the water. I came back today with this
plant growth all over the top of the water.
It turned out to be rather interesting.

Six Mile Creek (left) (sold)

This is the other side of the creek. I
really like the branch in the front with
the bright leaves.

Marsh and Palms

I have to say that this could be many
places in Florida and other coastal
areas in the South. I'm pretty sure
I did this from a photo that was taken
on the Gulf coast of Florida in the Cedar
Key area. I sometimes go back to old
photos and crop out areas of interest
and can't remember exactly where
they are.
