HOUSE NEAR OLD FORT By Cecelia Lyden

acrylic on matboard
8x10

This is my last post from Florida this winter. We are leaving in about a week and I have used up all my canvases. I painted this on matboard, which I did not like--the paint dried much too quickly. It did force me to paint extra fast though. I spotted this house situated between two gnarly trees in the park with a palm tree growing between them.

The house positioned, right in the middle, and the unusual, opposing growth of the trees made this an interesting composition to me.

Nice work Cecelia; but stay there where it's warm. It's freezing cold here tonight

I've really enjoyed your posts from Florida, Cecelia. They have been a warm, lovely breeze blowing into this cold, snowy winter we have been having here in PA.

It has been so wonderful seeing all your beautiful work from FL. I love the softness of the trees. They just seem to be dancing on a warm spring day! It is just amazing.

Thanks all-I felt the trees looked like they were dancing also, Kathy--I am beginning to think about spring in PA, but the temperatures just WON'T climb. I see it is 25 in Camp Hill this morning. YIKES!!
