Palms on the Marsh




Pastel on Wallis, 9x6

This bright view of the marsh with its stately palm trees and their long reflections intrigues me every time I see it.  Breaks in the shadows cast by trees off to the right make the grass in the foreground blase against the deep foliage of the oaks and pines.

I did this painting as a 2-hour demo at the Georgia Nick Gallery in St. Augustine as part of my week-end reception and presentation.  It was purchased from the easel even before I had finished it.  It doesn't get any better than that.
