"North Jetty Sea Grapes-plein air study", 14x11, oil on boardAfter almost two weeks of back pain, I woke up today feeling wonderful! Praise the Lord!
My fellowship group prayed for me last night and obviously the Lord heard my prayer because today I was out there painting with my friends from Florida's Sarasota County plein air group at Venice's North Jetty.
The light was awesome when I arrived around 8:45 but as soon as I set up my easel, and knocked out the bright light temperature in my first notes, the light disappeared and I was under a cloud for the next hour. So I stuck with what I had in my head and kept trying to remember the light. By 10:15 I was totally disgusted, when low and behold the sun made another appearance! Wow! Such drama!
The shadows were different but I kept at it for another 20 minutes. I shot a picture and went home and finished it up.
Nothing like painting plein air. The homeless kitties were meowing under the trees, the sunbathers were there in their various apparel and I even had a visit from a very nice Jehovah's Witness. I could hear the soft pounding of the waves of the Gulf against the shoreline just a dozen yards ahead. Here's a view of the seagrape trees that I painted today.

This is stunning, Maryanne - such depth, and vibrancy in the acid green foliage in the foreground. Glad to hear you are feeling so much better. Take it easy and look after yourself.
So much nicer than the photo. Love the color palette.
