Mangrove and Sky

10 x 10 Oil on Raymar canvas
sold

I am so excited that I actually finished my first painting here in Key West. I was very happy I was able to find the time and actually get it done. As time went on, it was getting daunting to think about setting everything up, but now I am looking forward to doing another soon. I am very inspired by my surroundings.

  2. Ah! Gorgeous! Now that is a scene that is good for your soul. Great job on the water - the colour and reflections are perfect. As is that SKY! Okay...and then there's that lush tree mass : ) I look forward to painting #2.

  8. Excellent painting, Mary Anne! This painting has nice loose brush strokes, strong values, and a great atmosphere. I think being in Key West is agreeing with you. I have always wanted to visit there. It sounds like a great place and there are some great sailing regattas.
