The title is from the weather report, this was done around high tide. The water is going into the reeds, usually there is a sand beach.

Overcome, Impressionism, Palms, by Fawn McNeill Barr
"Overcome"8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas
(sides are painted- no staples)
SOLD
Went out with the Treasure Coast Plein Air Painters group yesterday. It was fun. We were painting at White City Park.
When I saw this little palm hanging out, I had to paint it. I love these palms because you know at one time they were blown over. The growth pattern tells me that at one time this tree started to turn and grow back up even after it was blown down. It reminds me of all the times we have to change course in life, and overcome hardships. We don't have to let things become an excuse to destroy us. Just like this tree is more interesting because it kept going, so are we.

Sienna Shores at Lake Lanier
The sale of this painting made my week end! Sherry and I had been quoted in the AJCMetro and this was the painting I was doing when approached by the reporter. Well, there is beauty in the desert! You can see how long the shore line has become.
Sherry's Best Entry
Sherry entered three pastels in the Second Annual Historic Buford Plein Air Festival 2007. She says this is one way she relaxes from her stressful accounting job. I'm so glad she was able to participate in the paint out this year. We had a blast!

Tuesday paintouts from the Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast
This tuesday, September 25 and next October 2, we will paint at White City Park which is south of Ft. Pierce. From US1 you take CR712 or Midway Road. Go West on Midway Road till you get to the park on your left. Its a lovely little park, with a windy road that goes to the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. I try to get there around 9:30 and stay till noon or later. I drive a red Jeep Cherokee so you can look for that and find me.
I am looking forward to painting with you all again!
Happy Painting! Lori

I headed north of here, toward Sebring yesterday morning. (This lake is pronounced iss-ta-poe-ga.) It was so nice out that I stayed until lunch time. I did three paintings, which I will be posting over the next couple of days.
The wind was kind to keep me cool. There were lots of trees for shade, and so many birds posing for me, that I had to keep stopping for more pictures! What a great morning.
I added the birds after I got home, I just couldn't leave them out! smile.

Thanks to our SPAP members !
Just saying a big "Thank You!" to all our SPAP members for posting their original plein air paintings on this blog. We now have 14 members: 8 from GA, 3 from FL, 2 from TN, and 1 from SC.
We have received comments from all over the US - and from Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and England just to name a few.
It's interesting to note that we have been documenting the various weather (especially climate) changes taking place in our corner of the US. Be sure to check out paintings documenting the water level decrease in a large Florida lake, the foliage damage to trees, and strange weather conditions affecting skies.
