The Pond beside the Matanzas Preserve

Another wonderful morning to paint outside. I was with the Fort Myers Beach Art Assoc. Plein air group, at the Matanzas Preserve and Historic Cottage. There was a warm breeze and I found some shade under a Live Oak, which of course had a lot of moss hanging from its branches. This pond was surrounded by oaks, palm trees and other Florida scrub and homes shared the shoreline. I thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
