Daily Painting 1023 Heathcote's Triple Sabal Palm Tree, Plein Air Alla Prima



The top picture is my painting I did at Heathcote Botanical Gardens. Below is the sign that is under the tree, I thought it was an interesting story. Then I included a photo of the plant so you can see I didn't make it all up. The painting I did from life is 8 x 10 oil on hardwood plywood. $300.

Wow, I love the story! And the painting should outlive the tree.

Thanks bj! I imagine it will, that tree isn't very young.
