Everglades Paintings Done While In Florida

The last time I was in Florida I was out in the Everglades and I took photos of plants and some critters (I wish I had a better lens for photographing birds!).

I started painting some of these photos--more my impressions of them than actual attempts to duplicate the photos in any exact way. I do not excel at that sort of duplication obviously. The piece above is postcard sized, while the one below is, I think, 7 X 10 inches.

When I paint from photos, from now on, I will also post the photos. I cannot recall WHICH photos I used for these two. I also took a shot at doing some mangroves. THAT one really looks nothing like the photo but turned out, in my opinion, well.

I am judging these by progress and what I wanted them to look like more than anything else. I may try to do more realistic but tho

    For many years I painted. Then I stopped. These paintings started out a sort of experiment. Even when I did paint I never did watercolor. I spent a lot of time trying to be Van Gogh painting oil. Most of the paintings were unfinished. I decided to start using watercolor based only on the recollections of what my father had tried to teach me years ago. The newer paintings are the more recent. If you go back to the beginning you can see the early stumbling ones.

    I didn't start by drawing, I didn't practice. I just painted. I haven't included ALL the paintings and at some point I will post the first ones I did. But most of the paintings--for good or ill are here. Some are oil and also gouache.
