Lovely Lemon Tree, a Florida Oil Painting by Judy Batterson
Growing up in Florida, I took it for granted that everyone had a lemon tree or citrus of some sort. As kids, it was like having decorated Christmas trees in the yards. The beautiful ripe yellow lemons were tart on the inside though. Just like the old song about the lovely lemon tree. As an adult, I now look at the lemon like life....when life gives you lemons, make lemonade or lemon cupcakes or lemon martinis! 9 x 12" original oil on canvas.

Daily Painting 1329 North Fork View St. Lucie River Plein Air
I went here and painted today, perfect day out. My husband said there were some alligators near the fishermen and so I went to see, there is a photo of one below. Came back and found since I wasn't sitting on my chair and weighing it down the wind caught the umbrella. I was very lucky, as you can see, the umbrella just missed the painting. The painting is 8 x 10, oil on masonite, $200.
Orange Crate, A Florida Vintage Postcard Oil Painting by Judy Batterson
Florida citrus was being shipped everywhere in the US in plain wooden crates until around 1904. To compete with the rising industry in California, Florida growers created distinctive labels which were pasted to the ends of the crates. The labels had art depicting Florida's exotic flowers, birds and animals. Gift crates were stenciled on the sides "from Florida", guaranteeing that people would know these were Florida oranges! This was inspired by a vintage Florida postcard and painted on canvas. I have painted others on masonite. 5 x 7" original oil.

Diane Mannion, Nautilus Study, 6x6" oil
It's difficult to be a daily painter this time of the year... I'm painting daily BUT on much larger paintings that take far longer than a day. This is the season of big art show competitions and I never feel ready! But this head study helped a lot for the painting I'm almost finished with now. This is the captain of Nautilus, a Gulf of Mexico shrimp boat out of Fort Myers, Florida. Painting is coming out great, by the way!

The Orange Picker, a Florida Vintage Postcard Oil Painting by Judy Batterson
Citrus groves shaped Florida's history. The first groves were planted in the 1500's by Spanish explorers, and, by the late 1800's, workers had poured into the state to pick oranges from the thriving trees. Picked at the peak of freshness, oranges were put into
shoulder sacks, emptied into crates and then shipped all over the US. Oranges helped make Florida famous! 5 x 7" original oil painting. Part of my vintage "Postcards from Florida" painting project.

Daily Painting 1322 Strong Winds
This was almost a plein air painting, its been stormy lately, 25-40 mph winds and tons of rain. I thought I would see what I could do in between rain showers so I went out and started and then it started pouring. I came back inside and looked out the window and worked on the painting that way. About half way through the painting the wind totally stopped, a nice rainbow came out and my light changed again. I didn't try to catch that and stuck with the way the painting started. Its 16 x 12 inches, oil on masonite, $500.

Chief William McKinley Osceola in Dugout Canoe, a Florida Vintage Postcard Painting by Judy Batterson
Chief Wm McKinley Osceola (1883-1966) was the patriarch and medicine man of the Miccosukee Florida Seminole Nation. He was known as a great hunter and fisherman and lived all of his life in an Everglades camp 30 miles west of Miami. A direct descendent of Chief Osceola, he presented Pres. Truman a Seminole shirt in 1947 and made headlines. He also broke with tribal tradition and became the first Seminole to send his children to white men's schools. His son, Mike, entered Miami HIgh School in 1937 at age 16. Because of his great strength and size, he played football but "didn't want to hurt the little white fellows", according to an interview. This painting of Chief Osceola in his younger years was from a black and white vintage postcard with color references from other tribal photos. 5 x 7" original oil painting
