The Inlet, a Florida Oil Landscape of Beach and Ocean by Judy Batterson

Tired of cold weather? Ready to go to the beach? This oil painting captures the sandy shores of Ponce Inlet, where the
ocean meets the river. The background shows a sailboat in the ocean while the foreground shows the turn of the water into the river. Sandy beaches form the shorelines until the river deepens. The Inlet is known as a gateway to recreation as boats travel to and fro along the river into the ocean. It is also known for sharks, but I didn't paint any fins! 16 x 20 oil on masonite $1200

Springtime by the Lake, a Florida Oil Landscape by Judy Batterson

One of the most beautiful trees to bloom in spring is the yellow tabebuia tree. The yellow color is brilliant and lasts about two weeks. As the flowers drop, they look like yellow snowfall beneath the tree. This tree is the highlight of spring in Florida. The color is so vibrant, it is breathtaking! I used heavy impasto paint to emphasize the blooms. Framed oil on masonite. 12 x 12" $350

Poinciana Path, a Florida oil landscape by Judy Batterson

A little bit of Florida now in Wisconsin! The owner of this painting has redone her living room to showcase "Poinciana Path". Originally from Florida, she wants to keep that tropical feeling while the Wisconsin snow surrounds her house. This painting shows a poinciana tree in full bloom with the wonderful red flowers that are so striking. The backlighting highlights the richly textured tree. She might be the only one in Wisconsin with a poinciana tree! For more Florida landscapes visit www.judybatterson.com.

Eucalyptus Tree

I saw an amazing tree in South Florida. The colors were spectacular and HAD TO translate it into paint! Trying to find out the name of this beautiful species! The painting is titled Ritta Tree in homage to my Artist friend Ritta, who has her studio adorned with many of these trees!

Skyway Drive II

As I mentioned in my previous post, I lost my hard drive/images from a fabulous trip this last summer!  I just might have to go back and retrace my 18 days thru 19 states again! Worse things can happen, to say the least!

Construction I

It's been a tough week...my hard drive went on my laptop! I learned a tough lesson...never again! Lost all my material that I have been working from, out with my camera full force! I have decided to work on a larger scale this year. My daily paintings are going from 5" x 7" to 11' x 14" and then larger! That's my goal for this year. 

Rock of Ages, a sequence showing oil layering, by Judy Batterson

The finished painting! In the woods in Arcadia, Florida, there is a dry creek bed that serves as a trail that goes deep into the palmettos, palms and trees. When the sun is high, the light hits a clearing and highlights a rock where a person can rest while hunting or hiking. The rock marks a special place for all who walk through these woods. It never changes like the shifting shadows, thus the title. This painting was a commission and a joy to paint every layer. This commission was painted in memory of a very special man who loved to hunt in these woods. 11 x 14" giclees and prints available on request.

Daily Painting 1194 Sexton Barn work in progress

This is a plein air I did at Sexton's ranch in Vero Beach. Its a nice ranch with interesting cattle, I walked around a whole bunch to see as much as I could and decide where to paint. So I was tired when I finally started, I am not happy with the saw grass and other foliage. The plan is when it dries to put some transparent oil glazes on, this should make the painting warmer and bring out the colors I want in the grasses.

"La Bicyclette", 12x16, oil on masonite by Maryanne Jacobsen

"La Bicyclette", 12x16, oil on masonite, by Maryanne Jacobsen

Over the past weeks (and actually months! ) I have lost a lot of interest in painting. It definitely started with the BP oil spill back in April. Now there is so much bad news everywhere, and especially regarding the environment, that one wonders if it's the end of the world! The recent mass die-offs of whales in Argentina , as well as fish and birds in the US, and huge floods and earthquakes around the world, has had me thinking that the world that I have known and loved is changing in a negative way.

Today I decided to try to paint SOMETHING! Not an easy task when you have had the blues for a few weeks.

France has always been a place of magic for me, so I decided to start in that place that I love-Provence. I also have had a mean crush on Rod Stewart for the better part of my adult life. So I turned on a Rod Stewart CD (and hit the replay button on a couple of my all-time favorites) and just went into a happy zone. Although in shadow, the bicycle is the focal point of the painting, since it is the starting point in my effort to lead the viewer's eye throughout the painting.

"La Bicyclette" was painted with palette knife only, since I knew I was too lazy to attempt to clean paint brushes in my current lousy state of mind. Let us hope that the earthquakes, floods and massive deaths of birds and fish was just a weird holiday aberation and that the new year will be full of health and happiness for the planet.

Hope everyone has a very happy, healthy and blessed New Year, and thanks for staying with me as I've wandered around in the desert.
