Daily Painting "Morning Sail" 6x8 Oil Landscape SOLD

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

The thing about sailing, is that it looks like a lot more fun than it actually is.  I know, I know, that's just my opinion, so please don't get upset!  I enjoyed my days on the boat and I still love to spend an afternoon sailing.

Now, when I see a sail boat heading out on a beautiful sunny day, it seems like a little piece of paradise.
The real thing  almost never beats out imagination.  It's easy to forget the day the sail ripped or the day we sailed home in a raging storm with lightening strikes all around us.

Today, I will imagine....and paint about it.

Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Shelly!

Palm Afternoon, a Tropical Florida Landscape Oil Painting by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

This 16x20" oil landscape captured an Old Florida coastal feeling. The late afternoon sun made light and shadows appear in a secluded cove. I painted it hoping the viewer would feel the balmy breezes and tropical tranquility.

The Methuselah Date Palm, Ancient Seed Sprouts into Palm by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

The story of this palm is fascinating. Scientists have grown a tree from what may be the oldest seed ever germinated. It was sprouted from a 2,000-year-old date palm excavated in Masada in Israel. Dubbed the "Methuselah Tree" after the oldest person in the Bible, the new plant has been growing steadily. I see the similarity to many of our Florida palms even though this particular palm has been extinct until now. 6x6" framed oil on canvas.

The Methuselah Date Palm, Oil of Oldest Date Palm by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

"The Methuselah Date Palm" has an amazing story. An archeologist found date palm seeds on Masada in Israel. They were carbon dated to be over 2,000 years old. After a soaking in growth hormones, a seed sprouted, grew into a tree and flowered in 2011. Named The Methuselah after the longest lived character in the Bible, it's the only living Judean date palm, which has been extinct for 1800 years. It's the oldest known tree to successfully germinate. — at CityArts Factory in Downtown Orlando, 6x6 framed oil, $250.

Daily Painting, "Going Coconuts", Landscape, 6x8, Oil

This is another of my daily paintings from my trip to Sanibel Island in May.

Purchase here
95

My daughter and I were getting our exercise, taking a little walk before it was too hot one morning, trying to dodge all the people on bicycles without getting hit, when I saw this palm loaded with coconuts.

We live in Florida and see lots of palm trees, but our area is further north and coconut palms are not as common there.  There is a lot going on under those palms, all kinds of fibers hanging, old dried up fronds and other miscellaneous materials and of course, the coconuts.  It almost has an abstract quality.

Enjoy!

Palm Afternoon, Coastal Oil Painting of Florida by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

Once in a while you find a beach that is untouched except by waves and seaweed along the shoreline. With the afternoon sun, a shady cove is a fun place to explore. 16x20 oil.

The Eastern Gate, Jerusalem Golden Gate with Palm by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

A friend's trip to Jerusalem inspired this small oil painting of the Eastern Gate. Around the sides of the painting are written the words, "He will come from the East. The Eastern Gate waits quietly. Golden Gate of destiny, sealed in stone. Waiting to sing, Hosanna to the King." I hope to go there one day to see the gate and the palms. 4x4 oil.

I Believe in Discovery, A Florida Coastal Landscape with Palm, Dunes, and Ocean by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

This paintings is a compilation of what Ponce de Leon saw when he first discovered the peninsula of Florida 500 years ago. This is also part II of a complete diptych tying the sailing explorers together with the land they discovered. Bold in color, it emphasizes the boldness of Ponce and his men. I hope this encourages others to keep Florida's natural beauty the way they found it long ago. 18x24 oil on board.

Tall Palm, Tiny Island, Tropical Oil Painting by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

There are many tiny islands in the Keys with teeny tiny island cottages. Although the cottage I saw was old and weathered, I painted this one with fun island colors. The entire canvas was underpainted in blue, then many layers were added until the tall palm finished the landscape. I like the way the tiny house on the tiny island gives such a contrast to the tall palm in front of it. Such a fun painting and a joy to paint! Tall and tiny and tropical! 12" H x 36" W oil on canvas. Now hanging in an island house with a happy owner!

Enlightened, Florida Coastal Oil Landscape Painting by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

I passed by this location a few weeks ago, and the boat was still pulled up on the shoreline where I had painted it earlier. An afternoon thunderstorm, typical of Florida afternoons, had moved on, and the sunlight broke through the clouds. This 16 x 20 original oil is now headed for an upcoming event in Central Florida.

Sunset Beach, Palm and Beach Art by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

"Sunset Beach" Had some fun with bright colors painting a sunset. Just visited Sunset Beach where the palms grow in the sand next to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunset Beach is by Tarpon Springs. The sunset was so vivid that colors bounced everywhere!

Palm Afternoon, Florida Oil Landscape by Judy Batterson

In homage to the Florida Highwaymen! I found a scene that would be similar to what they painted. This 16 x 20 original oil captured a prominent palm along the coast of Florida. The sun was setting, the waves were lapping and it was the end of a beautiful afternoon.

Garden of Eden, Original Oil Painting by Florida Artist Judy Batterson

When asked by the author to paint an oil painting for her book cover, I did research on the subject of the book, "The Little Book of Healing Prayers". Good places for peace and healing are in gardens where one can be still and pray. This thought led to the first garden. Then I discovered that archeologists think that the palm tree was one of the trees in the Garden of Eden. As a Florida artist, I love palm trees! That was my inspiration for the painting! The book is now available at The Glennon House in Winter Park, Florida.
