I painted this on a very foggy morning while out with a student of mine. The fog kept gradually lifting as we were painting revealing more and more of the landscape. The gnats were ferocious. I wrapped a paper towel around my neck like a scarf to keep them from biting my neck. Once I got involved with painting I did not notice them nearly as much.

I used the red, yellow, blue palette that I employed with the last painting with the Vasari oils. I like them, they are very creamy.

"An Evening of the Arts" annual fundraiser held on Hilton Head Island, SC has been going on for the past 36 years. I have participated for at least the past 15 years. It supports a cause dear to my heart, arts education. It is being held October 6 at the Crown Plaza Resort. When their site gets up I will provide a link.

I liked this tree because it was kind of disheveled and not the usual perfect palmetto especially with with the one yellowish leaf sticking out. Also being the green fanatic that I am, I was challenged by the colors.
