This week I decided to do a quickie. It was threatening rain and I just had a little bit of time so I pulled out a 5"x 7" wrapped canvas that I had applied super heavy gesso to weeks ago. There is a wonderful old house on the Halifax River in Ormond Beach that used to be the home of John Rockefeller. Many Ormond Beach events are held there and it is one of my favorite places to paint.
My canvas was so small that I really needed to be choosy about what I included. So I zeroed in on the right side of the giant oak tree.
Those rays of sunshine are deceptive. It did end up raining on me briefly, but not enough to send me packing.
I didn't take enough in progress pictures to warrant a minute video but here are a couple of stills with the final product.
