Atmospheric Amelia Island

The Wednesday oil painters group that I belong to is the "featured Artist" for the month of September at the Island Art Association.  Since there are 11 of us and limited space for display, it was decided to work on paintings 11 x 14 or smaller with the theme of Island scenes.  I don't generally paint a lot of scenes of the island but decided to try some out.  I ordered a couple packs of linen panels to experiment with and have enjoyed painting this group of Fernandina scenes.  The photos that I took and worked from all seemed to have different light and atmospheric qualities that attracted me to the image.  One or two of these will be on the featured artist wall during the September artwalk (second Saturday 5-7pm) and the rest will be up with my work in the gallery for that artwalk.
