Loxahatchee River Painting-Egret Wilderness


Landscape Art, Loxahatchee River Painting
Gorgeous nature painting of two white egrets in the Florida Loxahatchee River wilderness.  The Loxahatchee River has huge mangroves and beautiful palm trees.   The soaring egret flies over the serene river and a lone egret is by the edge of the mangroves.  This nature painting is based on a trip my husband and I took to the Loxahatchee River at Johnathan Dickinson State Park where we had a wonderful picnic by the river.  This park has canoes and kayaks for rent,  and for a small fee you can take an hour long boat ride down the river.    Trapper John's cabins will be  a stop along the boat ride.  Trapper John was known as the "Wildman of the Loxahatchee".   Along, the river you will, no doubt, see alligators.  There was one brave sole that was paddling done the river on a paddle board.  He was laying on his stomach and was using his hands to paddle.   We did a little hiking down a walking trail that day and enjoyed the scenery overlooking the river. This popular state park also has camping facilities and cabins for rent.

Painting Edges of three New Coastal Paintings

  I put my last three oil paintings in an assembly line to paint the sides.  I often take over the dining room table to perform this task.   The painting in the middle is based on our trip up to Watercolor Beach, FL with Chula, our dog.   I think I will call it "I Only Have Eyes for You". John was focused on Chula and not the beautiful woman who rode by on the sunlit sidewalk next to a stream.  I knew when I took this photo, that I would capture that moment on a canvas one day.  I miss our little Chula.  She loved to go on trips with us.   I also painted this glistening waterlily painting based on a Florida marsh at sunset.   The carnival of colors are delightful and memorizing.  I am a big fan of Monet and can see his influence in the way I paint my waterlily paintings.  I remember visiting an art museum and admiring one of his waterlily paintings.  I asked the curator why the edges still had white  canvas showing and remarked that it looked unfinished.  She said that Monet

Sunrises and Sunsets: My Next Chapter

Sunrises and sunsets are my favorite subjects to take photographs of and paint.  They signify a brand new start and a closing of a chapter.   I have started a new chapter in my life!  My husband and I have moved back to Texas after leaving over 20 years ago.  I enjoyed living in South Carolina for a several years but spent the last 20+ years in Florida.  It is great to be back in the Rio Grande Valley by family and were we were both raised.  I was also very fortunate to be able to continue my long career in higher education in Texas where I work for a university.    As I turn the chapters in my life, I will share my love for paintings, nature and living well on this blog!  Living well to me means being a good steward of God's gifts, for the good of others to glorify and praise God.  I have enjoyed sharing my paintings over the years and am excited about painting new places in Texas.   I have yet to unpack from our move, and will leave my art supplies in boxes until we find our perm
