Bay Beach Access

This is my favourite beach Accees point on Ft. Myers Beach. The tide pools, created by high tides, are populated by migrating sea birds and are a protected area. There are less people walking on the beach and there is ample shade under a spreading sea grape tree, to paint for the morning. This was created on a 12x24 canvas.

I have not been very happy with the painting of Newton Cottage, and decided to change the colour of the cottage. Here is the revised painting. I wonder what you think?

                               

An Historic Cottage on Ft. MyersBeach

I have spent the morning painting outside on Ft. Myers Beach. I rode my adult trike to a  beach Access point and spent the morning there. Unusual for this area it was not sunny, but cloudy. That was an advantage this morning since there was not much shade. What a great morning. I was surrounded by Florida vegetation and looking at a cottage which had been refurbished by the County and closely resembled the original. It has a Florida room, on the beach side, and like our big porches it was fully screened in. Palm trees and beach vegetation surrounded the cottage. Even Sea Oats were there and many kinds of grasses. There was a construction crew building a sea wall and  the workers dropped by my spot quite often to check on my progress. They all liked the finished painting so I have included a photo of it here. It's on an 11x14 board.
