Big, Bigger, Biggest

Here is the finished painting on a 11x14 board. This is a very busy marina and boats are constantly coming and going. I was very lucky these three stayed. By the way, the biggest was definitely not the biggest in the marina. THAT boat took about five mooring spots and was at least three decks. 

                              

Painting at Fish Tale marina

I have included here, two photos of my morning Wednesday, at the marina. As you can see I am just getting started on my three boats. What a great day!

Morning On Fort Myers Beach

This Wed. Morning we were again at Bowditch Park on the northern end of FMB. The shadows on the sand from the early morning sun, were perfect and then the kids who run the sea doo rental stand, put the sails up on the two sailboats they rent. I loved the splash of colour that added to the scene...so here it is. It is painted on a 11x14 board.

                                        

Parrot Key Revisited

When we painted at this restaurant, a few weeks ago, I posted the painting that I created there. After looking at my painting I decided I could do better. If you compare them you will see I simplified the buildings and added more tourists. I think the improved colours and structures of the palm trees also adds to this painting.

                                        

This is painted on a 12x16 board.

Parrot Key restaurant

This Wednesday, Feb.12, we painted at the Parrot Key restaurant. This is a popular eating spot on Back bay at FMB. We were all there early, about 8:30, and after we had chosen our spot for painting, we all got busy. it was a beautiful spot with a cloudless sky and a light breeze. I settled on the front entrance and so I was watching all the comings and goings for the morning. They were very busy with fishing charters, tours, rentals and guiding people around the marina. I have never seen such large yachts, and such interesting people! This is a result of my mornings work on an 11x14 board..

                                             

Lovers key State park

This Wednesday morning early, there was sea fog. A cool wind was blowing off the Gulf and we did not see the sun all morning. The fog seemed to rise up to make clouds as the morning progressed. I was fortunate enough to find a sheltered spot, out of the wind and this was the view I had. I enjoyed painting this one, even though the sun just did not appear.
