Today we painted at Bonita Bills , under the bridge at Fort Myers Beach. There were about twelve artists, and everyone found a spot with shelter, since the sky was unsettled and showers were forecast.
Most of us were in The Dixie Fish Company, which is being remodeled by a new owner. We walked around the No Trespassing signs and settled in to paint. Unknown to us, the video cameras sent our pictures to the local police, who were monitoring the premises via video feed. The owner showed up, asked what was going on, and when we explained, he let us stay. I think he even bought one of the finished paintings. So, in spite of the showers, wind, and a surprise visit, the morning ended on a good note.
