Each new painting adventure leads me to parts unknown, each with it's own beauty to translate into paint. This beautiful spot is the Brooker Creek Preserve, and I am standing on the boardwalk bridge over the known alligator habitat. I saw many birds, fish jumping, and heard large animal noises from under the bridge - but I never actually saw the gator. A very peaceful place, it was so relaxing to stand here and paint, soaking up my surroundings. This painting was my favorite of the three day event - so I entered it for judging, and we could only enter one. What an honor to win an award on it at the Tarpon Springs Paint and Photo reception last night! I definitely want to return next year to paint again! Painting number 2611 in 2611 days.
OMGosh Tammie this just took my breath away. It is stunning.
