I did this as a demo painting at Heathcote Botanical Gardens the other day, I think I got a few people interested in using a painting knife. Its plein air, alla prima and oil. I did change the bird, Heathcote has a wooden heron there and I made him look like a live one. Its 8 x 10 $300.
I did this at Heathcote Botanical Gardens here in Fort Pierce at their wonderful paintout the other day. They fed us a lovely breakfast and lunch and it was lots of fun meeting some different artists and seeing old friends too. This area is a bit hidden in a nice warm spot, it was a little chilly when I got there and this is always cozy here. Its oil, 8 x 10 $200.
"Little Jim's Shore"
About This Painting:
This is the first painting I did last Tuesday, in Fort Pierce. I had painted in some of the sea grapes while I was there, and then decided to add more when I got home. I may have over done it!!!! But I like it. I also added the pelicans, as they were everywhere!
Enjoy!

I am naming the painting "Its Me or Marty" or "Little Jim's Bait and Tackle" The guy by the truck was walking towards us so I painted him in, thinking that spot in the painting needed something. He came over to look and I asked him who he thought it was and he said "its me or Marty." Below is the man and the truck and above is the whole painting. Its plein air, alla prima, it was a beautiful, breezy day. My group of painters, the Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast will be painting there again this tuesday. Its a fun place to paint with lots of things going on, boats and birds and interesting people. The painting is 8 x 10, oil, $200.
