SOUTH JETTY PARK By Cecelia Lyden

SOLD
acrylic
6x8
My first painting with a group of Ft. Pierce[Florida] plein air painters was scheduled for today. It was very overcast and drizzly, but I was anxious to start painting and to meet other painters in the area. I was the only one to show up--just me and the local fishermen. It was warm, in the 70's and there was a protected area to paint under, so I stayed and painted the cloudy day in the Sunshine State.

Cecelia - you got out of here just in time - it is snowing like crazy here tonight. I love the sway of the beach grasses here. Glad you stayed and painted even though the rest of the group never showed. Hope you are having a very nice, WARM time.

Those other painters don't know what they missed; you captured the day quite well. Nice painting.

Nice job. I like the composition and strong use of near and far.
