Daily Painting 1318 Glowing Sunset
Its oil on masonite, 5 x 7 inches. This was another one of my paintings where I started the background and let it dry and then worked on top. The different texture on the palm fronds is from a color shaper tool, its a lot of fun to use. $100.

Weeki Wachee Mermaid, a Vintage Florida Oil Painting by Judy Batterson
Weeki Wachee Springs was quite a big attraction in Florida from the 1940's -70's. The mermaid show was great underwater entertainment. Mermaids used tubes of air as they performed gracefully. Today Weeki Wachee Springs is a State Park and has Florida's only spring fed water park, along with canoes, kayaks,and a revival of the mermaid shows. 5 x 7" original oil.
Paintings of Children at the Beach by Sharon Guy
Building Sandcastles,
Watercolor, 8 in. x 6 in.
I enjoy sketching and painting children playing on the beach. I did this watercolor on site. I had to work quickly to capture the scene before the children moved. Fortunately, they stayed in the same positions while they worked on their project.

Daily Painting 1317 Stormy Beach
Its 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite. This was a fun one for me, I had started it awhile ago by putting the cloud glow in, I didn't want to throw away that nice bright color, it was some left over paint. Plus I like to have a start on a panel, it helps me think up something to paint.

Daily Painting 1316 The Elegant Departure American Egret Painting
Its 8 x 10, oil on plywood. I had this underway for awhile, I had it all finished except for the bird's beaks which were not showing up well. I had to let it dry and then paint over them. Of course then I tweaked here and there a bit more, I feel happy with it now.

"Provencal Skyline-Brantes", 5x7, oil on board-$150 by Maryanne Jacobsen
"Provencal Skyline-Brantes", 5x7, oil on board-$150 I must confess that after working for two days on that lackluster painting of a dreary garden in Denmark, I needed a pick-me -upper. So I went back to the place where my heart has always been from a very young age- Provence.
I won't bore you with the details of why my heart is most likely as French as truffles, but in truth I suspect that it is, was and always will be.
I must also give credit to Deborah Lawrenson, British author extraordinaire and art collector for tugging my heartstrings with the recent reading of her book, "The Lantern". Her vibrant imagery of the Provencal landscape re-awakened my desire to paint more paintings of this incredibly medieval, mystical, captivating and majestic place.

American White Ibis
Ibis
Oil on canvas, 10 in. x 8 in.
The American White Ibis feeds in the shallow water along the edge of the shore. They are fairly common in Florida. The sun was shining on the bird's white plumage when I took my reference photo.
