Florida has been mostly warm and lovely; perfect for painting inside or out. This painting, done, from photos I took on a coolish and breezy day, was painted indoors. My first outdoor painting was started at a local botanical garden. I will be returning next week with other plein air painters to finish it.

In late February, signs of spring were popping up along stretches of the Florida Turnpike. Some roadside shrubs and trees were sporting bright green foliage. This looked so enticing. especially in contrast with the fields, which appear orange in the bright sunlight. Of course, puffy clouds get me everytime.
