"Tidal Creek"


9 x 12 (Plein Air)
This is from my trip to Amelia Island. This is near the southern tip of Amelia Island near Jacksonville. Great light as the sun was setting. Some hispanic guys -- about four -- came up out of this creek with a cooler full of clams. They liked the painting and the only one who could speak English asks if I paint portraits. "Yes," I said, "but I am pretty expensive". "How much? For one this big?" and he motions with his hands from his belt of his head. "I don't know -- couple grand probably". He smiles, "Yeah, you got a card?" And the truth is he probably makes more money than I do. He had me take down his phone number.
