The Jordan Winery Competition

THE GREEN CAY WETLANDS- BOYNTON BEACH FLORIDA-

The Brooklyn Bridge- NYC  and below The Manhattan Bridge

I was just practicing how to tackle this wedding flowers ..original colors are all white..so i decided to put a spin on it..half an hour quick painting of still life on flowers.  12 X 12 Oil on canvass.

This was a very famous spot called Winter Park on the rose garden with the Peacock Statue on the fountain. I was there during the Plein Air Festival among few friends. I painted this on location just before leaving the town.  Size 11 X 14 oil on canvass board.

This is called "The Olive Tree"  which reminded me of my trip to Greece a long time ago. The village people used the net to save time picking the olives from the ground...

In contrast to Plein Air artists on
