Daily Painting 1269 Spoonbill Marsh

This was painted from a photo I took at Spoonbill Marsh. Its North of Vero, you need permission to go there. I am planning some paintouts there, and got to go on a tour of it. Its got a big long boardwalk. Vero's drinking water wells have some salt in them.

They are using the marsh as a big experiment, they pump the salt water from the Vero wells into it so it doesn't go into the Indian river too fast. They have rafts of mangroves planted and oyster beds. All seem to be growing well.

There is a show planned for paintings from the paintouts in the fall.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite, $200.
