Big Cypress

I painted this scene in Big Cypress swamp, halfway between Naples and Miami. I love painting palms and being far out on the boardwalk painting the scene in the middle of the jungle is exhilarating.

Everglades Sunset

Everglades Sunset

16" x 20"

I'm experimenting with working on gold leaf grounds on this one. The trick is to not cover the gold leaf up with opaque paint and to let the shimmer come through the paint layers.Glazing layers of sun thickened oil medium or thinned canadian balsam, increases the refraction index  and heightens the effect.

Florida Oil Paintings

Here's a selection of florida oil paintings that I painted in and around areas of southwest florida.

From a home base in Naples, I venture out with my paintbox and easel  to Everglades City, Corkscrew Swamp, Collier Seminole State Park,, Cayo Costa, Chokoloskee, Pine Island, and anywhere I can find some little bit of unspoiled Florida.
