   I have painted two round oil paintings on board framed in wood.  This one is of Beverly

Beach near Flager.  I loved the buttery peach color of the sand on a greyer day.  I used a little more

restrained on minimizing the yellow flowers.  I like painting round.  "Beverly Beach" 24inch diameter.  950$ includes

shipping.

"Mill House at Juniper Springs" 12x12 oil on copper 1250$ framed in gold or black with gold.

Shipping and Italian handcarved black with light gold lip included, or gold.  

    I was sitting in the 68-degree cool springs water thinking about how many generations of my

family have enjoyed this, Juniper Springs.  Three generations have swam and picnicked here.  I love 

this place.  I have swum here almost every day.  I am getting to know the season pass holders.  

I worked on this painting for three days.  I spent 30 hours painting.  Copper oil paintings take me

three times the time as does painting with oil on board.  I also go through a lot more oil paint.  It is very

interesting allowing myself to paint on board and copper to see the difference.  

"Nesting Time" 12x12 oil on copper 1250$ framed in gold or black with gold.  Shipping and frame

are included.

   I had finished the mill painting above and was looking at my finished Nesting Time painting.  I

put it back on my easel to change a few things.  I rubbed some browns over the next area to unite a 

few twigs.  I mixed more sky color and changed the sky holes on the right by the palm.  I added more

color to the leaves.  I added more gold reflective light on the Egret.  I think it is better now.  

The cat in the foreground I call Chester. He has lost half his weight this last month.

I thought it was because he was not getting food. Maybe the Sandhill Cranes have been

stealing all the cat food.  The other cat sitting on the chair I call the guard.  He guards my

cottage.  Sometimes he sits on top of my car!  He meows loudly when I come home.  He wants

me to pet him but will bite and hiss at me after a few pets.  What a character.  They look a little like

my cat friend named Dundee of Stonington, Maine.  Maybe Dundee was a brighter orange.  

   Two long haired orange cats who lived nearby decided I might feed and take care of them better.  They

watched me carry Festus to the Catio.  Miss Kitty may have bragged about the quality of cat food and all her

toys.  I tried to get them to go home.  They seemed to become thinner and thinner.  Weaker.  I brought out 

two bowls of food.  I feed them daily, Purina One turkey formula.  I give them fresh spring water.  Sandhill

crane family of four sometimes hijack their food.   The larger Sandhill crane walks on to the deck, raises his wings,

and scares both cats eating away!  I put both cat bowls of food under an Adirondack chair so they can eat safely.

My cats, Festus and Miss Kitty, were irritated that they did not get any of the Purina One food that my outside

orange cats get.  But they both need to see each the vet prescribed Rabbit and Pea kibble and pate by Royal Canin.

Have a good night.

    It is hot here in Ocklawaha, Florida.  I found a wonderful place, Juniper Springs, to paint

and cool off!  A 80$ membership fee allows me access to all the local springs.  I am lucky to have

Juniper Springs 10 or 15 minutes away from my cottage. It is an oasis!  I think the water

temperatures are always 68 degrees.  The top painting shows the main spring or vent.

The color is a beautiful blue that somehow, I can still make with my limited four colors.

The second painting was done on a more cloudy day.  I really like how that cumulus cloud

turned out.  I waited till it moved to the right location.  A young lady was asking me questions

and videoing me while I painted.  I had a great time.  The ice cold crystal clear water is so refreshing.

There is a turtle who comes up for air a few times a day, crawfish, and a swamp bird that hangs out

in the water.  Two young boys captured the swamp bird in a minnow net and had it by it's neck.  

The swamp bird escaped and seemed up phased by the assault.  I was glad to see the bird unharmed.

It is always sunny here in Florida.  I am grateful for a nice cool cottage with the lake view.

   Festus is always doing something funny.  He was sitting on top of my head but then he

slid off and put his big paw over my ear.  He is doing very well and so is Miss Kitty.  Violet, 

my pretty red golden retriever in Maine, is doing great too.  Good night.
