Florida Moonrise
Here are two versions of Florida Moonrise that I painted over two days. While finishing up a plein air painting on the property of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida https://www.conservancy.org/ I noticed the moon peeking over the palm trees and quickly batted out a 10" x 14" sketch of the effect. I resolved to come back the next day and try a larger version, arriving well before the effect of the moonrise but also allowing for the later moonrise time so that I could lay in the great masses and composition so that all would be ready for the final color adjustments once the lighting and moonrise were at peak effect.
