"FP&L at Night"


10 x 8 (Plein Air)
Literally painted under a streetlight at the inlet on Singer Island. This was fun to paint. Challenging, educational, and unique, while at the same time a soothing, cool ocean breeze kind of an evening. Because it was painted under the green tint of a streetlight I had no way to accurately judge the colors I was mixing. Just went by experience and values. This was finished at around 10:00pm. There was a couple on the path that were apparently building one of the new houses going up on the inlet. The husband was on the phone talking to a contractor about how his wife didn't like something that had been done. I thought you two need to just chill out and count your blessing. You get to live on this incredibly beautiful and peaceful spot and your stressing out about some small piece of millwork. The wife looked at the painting and was complimentary but her tone of voice seem to be saying "If I could have them fix that eyesore I'd do that as well." I guess we all need to just chill out.
