This sort of cartoonish painting of a Florida prairie is one of my favorites. It is basically what I meant it to look like--ergo a favorite.

There is a larger version below as well. I think I like it because it actually reminds me of the places...even if the trees are of an indeterminate species even by my rather LOOSE standards.

The above paintings are postcard sized on the right and 7 x 10 1/4 on the left. The bottomc two are pines in the prairie. Pines don't grow in water though so the larger tree is a sort of pine/mangrove hybrid. My effort to paint mangroves continues.

The fall tree is one where I tried to not use SO much paint and the magnolia in the upper right corner is, yet another, attempt to capture a tree that grew next to my house when I was a kid. It is also the first larger sized painting I did

    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.
