A couple of weeks ago when I did a painting of the Apalachicola Bridge from below, I got lots of complimentary comments. So today, when I went to Cocquina Beach on Anna Maria Island, Florida, I decided to paint the Longboat Key bridge and beach. It was a lovely warm day, and the paint dried quickly. I didn't bother with a preliminary drawing; I just did the first wash and started to paint in layers with no pencil guidelines. I enjoyed the process and the freedom of painting without so much drawing ahead of time.
I still have some time here south of Tampa before my thoughts must turn northward. But 75 degree temperatures make the frigid north seem like a fairy tale. Unfortunately, soon I may have to fend off the cold like most of my friends north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Happy Painting!
