In Your Own Backyard

Here on the grounds of Sportsman's Lodge, in Eastpoint, Florida, there is plenty to paint.  There are live oaks, palmetto trees, peacocks, and a small cove/creek.  The buildings are old and full of character.
So why drive all around looking for something to paint when there's plenty here on the Lodge grounds?

Here's a painting I did several years ago.  I took a photo of the scene yesterday and am including it, too.
