Plein Air Painting


CASPERSEN PARK
oil
10" x 8"

Early, overcast morning in Venice, Florida.  Found a spot under tall palm trees to paint along with Sally Christiansen's group.   I had painted a bird flying low over the water with its reflection, but someone thought it looked like a dolphin so I painted it out.  Later, two people paddling bright yellow kayaks came by.  I wished they had showed up went I first started, oh well, that will have to be another painting.  The sky and lighting changed constantly during the two hours this took to paint.
