Lettuce Lake



Just before I went to Kentucky, I painted this. It is a park along the Hillsborough River called "Lettuce Lake". It is called that because of the profusion of lilies and other aquatic plant life that covers it, but you can surmise that from the image.
I am back to painting and loving it! Later today I am going to start the first oil for this year. Strange- I prefer oils, yet everything I've done this year is acrylic. I think I focused on acrylics because of time constraints. Acrylics are faster. I am going to paint a woman feeding birds. Pidgeons maybe?

Beautiful. The bugs and chiggers keep me indoors a lot but I walk with my neighbor an hour every night....fully sprayed down.

Wow, that is beautiful... wish I was having a picnic with my love along the gorgeous banks.

I wanna see the bird feeding. I have cockatiels and love birds and am fascinated by them. Great job on Lettuce Lake!

Beauty abounds. Very nice, I will walk along and enjoy it. I love paintings I can "get into" this one I know has a muddy path along side of the Lake.

How is the painting of the woman feeding the birds coming along?
