Florida Jungle Road


8 x 10
From a photo I took over in Jacksonville at a park on the north side near the ocean. The trick to this kind of painting is figuring out what to leave in and what to leave out. It's a jungle. There's stuff everywhere. If you painted every leaf and tree it would never end and the scene would be overwhelming. Here I just tried to suggest the palm fromes and the palm trees with a hint of a live oak branch making a canopy over the road. I think it works, but I'm bias.
