Today, I'm painting the tropical foliage of Brooker Creek along the boardwalk. The resident alligator was here to greet me when I arrived! I've only painted here a couple of times, and never on this side of the trail. The lovely cypress trees rising from the creek caught my attention immediately. I spent more time than usual on this painting, I was so relaxed as I stood in this peaceful place that I lost track of time. The sound of sand hill cranes wafted through the preserve, and ibis and pileated woodpeckers flew in and out. The gator never moved as I worked, but was gone when I finished. Before I cleaned my brushes, a white ibis strolled through my scene, so I painted him in! This is a wonderful place to spend the day and I'm looking forward to one more day of paint time! Painting number 5110 in 5110 days.
