Is it Spring Yet?

I’m so glad I live in the South!  Though it’s unseasonably cold this April, I don’t think I could stand it any further north.  And one reason I want springtime weather is that means it’s time to enjoy painting en plein air!

I recently enjoyed a few days painting on the waterfront of Saint Mary’s, Georgia.  The breeze was enough to keep the sand gnats at bay and the light was wonderful.  It’s always interesting to meet the people who happen by and want to watch.   Thank you to the “random photographer” who happened by and sent me this photo.  I didn’t get her name but maybe she is reading this.

Here is an updated 16×20 version, painted in the studio.

And one more, painted from my photo taken the same week.  Springtime in St. Mary’s is gorgeous, but remember to take bug spray!

Looking forward to Plein Air South in May!!
