"Old Florida" Original Oil Painting, Daily Painter, Landscape Painting,

 I painted this a few years ago, while on a winter vacation in Florida.  The scene seems to bring to life my  impression of "Old Florida".  Before Mickey, back when the state was more "Down Upon the Suwannee River" and glass bottom boats.

It was painted plein air, on the banks of the Indian River, which is part of Florida's intra-coastal waterway.

Plein Air Landscape, 6x8, Oil SOLD

I don't often paint out of the studio, but recently I spent a week in North Carolina with my paint group, Pieces of Eight.  We didn't paint as much as we usually do on our retreats, but we did get a few days in.

SOLD

We went to a beautiful location, Grandfather Vineyard, near Boone, and painted on the grounds.  Tables and chairs we set up on the bank of the stream and customers would bring their bottles of wine and glasses and enjoy an hour or two.

It was a beautiful, sunny fall day and we enjoyed our painting session.  When we had put our brushes away, we purchased a few bottles of wine and enjoyed a lively art discussion in this wonderful location.  I took lots of photos and have several from Grandfather Vineyards that I plan to paint soon.
