Vegetables At The Market

I decided it was time to do a painting in my studio from my trip to the farmer's market in Sanford. The market is only a block away from my studio at Gallery on First. I usually take a stroll through there every Saturday morning to stock up on vegetables for the week and see what else is new. I eliminated the distracting background and framed the vegetables by painting a dark complementary background to make the carrots stand out. Are you ready to have some salad for lunch?

    I guess I am going to have to look on your blog to see all of the new paintings you do and don't bring home. This one looks so nice!

Casa Feliz - SOLD

Image
The Winter Paint Out is over for another year. It was a great event and the weather held out for us all week. There were lots of wonderful paintings turned in from a great group of accomplished artists. I did this painting of the Casa Feliz during the paint out. It was designed by James Gamble Rogers II (1901-1990) a well known architect of Winter Park. I wanted to paint a section of the historical building, but when I got there I did what I usually do and painted the whole building. This painting will make a nice wedding present for the many weddings that are held at the Casa Feliz.  SOLD

Forces of Nature

I just completed painting in the Crescent Beach Plein Air Paintout. Over a week of painting on location along the beach and near the city of St. Augustine. Forces of Nature was an old cedar tree I found growing along the banks of a canal that led to the Intracoastal Waterway . I spent the afternoon with that tree for three days in a row. Trying to capture the light and strength that nature cast upon that old tree. The first two days I left unsatisfied, hoping I would be able to return again and finish the composition. On the third day I left joyfully, knowing I had created a nice painting. I didn't acutally know how good it was until I put it in the competition and it was voted Best of Show.
