Honeymoon Island offers many views of an untamed landscape and a beautiful shoreline. With my back to the gulf and wonderful breezes blowing I painted this sunny scene. Maybe not all that untamed as the bath house lets one know its not all that undeveloped. After painting for a couple of hours all of us painters went for a very refreshing dip in the gulf-- what a fun painting day!
Friday was a great painting day with a light breeze blowing and puffy clouds overhead. This scene is was painted at the edge of the roadside overlooking marshland that seemed to go on forever.
Children are really moving targets when you are trying to paint them so I sketched in the idea when I was out at the beach and then used the sketch at home to paint this scene of them playing at the shoreline. They seemed to be having such a good time.
Its been an early summer as far as temperature goes this year and Friday was no exception. The temperature probably was in the low 90s and not a whiff of a breeze to be found--one of the trials of plein air painting. Looking back over some of my previous posts I see I painted the same scene as I did a few weeks ago--guess I liked the view.
I painted this some time ago and kept going back and repainting it--still can't decide if I have it right.
