Plein Air Painting at Boca Grande

Easter Morning
Acrylic on panel, 10 in. x 8 in.

I visited Gasparilla Island State Park on Boca Grande on Easter Morning. I walked past the lighthouse and found a spot where I could watch the barn swallows swooping over the dunes. It was so windy I had to sit in a beach chair and paint in my lap. To purchase this painting or to view my other artwork, visit Sharon Guy Art.

Plein Air Painting in the Wind

March Storm
Acrylic on panel, 10 in. x 8 in.

Here is the second of two paintings I did on a stormy, windy morning in March. The water had a greenish tinge, and the light fell on the horizon, creating a band of light green water. An occasional change of weather is a good thing in Florida, as far as I'm concerned. To purchase this painting or see more of my art, visit my website at Sharon Guy Art.

Plein Air Wave Studies by Sharon Guy

Wind and Waves, Acrylic on panel, 10 in. x 8 in.

On a stormy March morning, I sat in a chair near the water and studied the waves. It was too windy to use my easel, so I painted in my lap. A grey, stormy day is refreshing to me. The colors of the water changed as the sun came in and out of the clouds. To purchase this painting, visit my website at Sharon Guy Art.

Florida Beach Scene by Sharon Guy

Red Tower
Acrylic on panel, 10 in. x 8 in.

Beach towers add color and structure to a painting. I like doing plein air paintings with a strong, simple, composition. The bright, red tower makes a nice contrast with the white sand. This was painted early in the morning while the sun was behind me. I'm lucky to be able to paint outside in the winter without being cold. Sharon Guy Art

I'm still painting storm clouds. I was finished by the time the rain and lightning started. Sharon Guy Art
