"Ibis at Gulf Beach"

I'm happy with this painting. I'd like to do many more bird scenes. We could just sit and watch them for hours on the beach. The time of day was about 5 pm in December or January. We were having a picnic with friends and the lighting was very interesting. Just this light little glow on the the birds.

"Bridge at Bay Colony"

I painted a plein air of this painting first. I really enjoy starting with that and doing a more finished and larger painting in the studio. Just having that little painted sketch brings back all the memories from the spot. This is in Pelican Bay, Naples, Florida. It's a gorgeous area.

"Gerber"

This painting was done in Karen's studio. I brought these flowers from my daughter's second birth.  I only had a couple of hours on it. Karen also painted one and it came out beautiful. It was a great subject.
