Sunset at Jaxport

My only views of Jaxport have mostly involved the Dames Point bridge and basically just exist in my memory as they are from moving vehicles in traffic.  This is from a sketch I did after returning one evening in a fiery sunset.

New Small Works


When I am "warming up" for some larger ideas, I often paint a few small pieces from images I have been thinking of for a while.  The cannas are from photos I took in St. Augustine last year, that I found interesting juxtaposed in the papyrus bed.  The sea myrtle blooms here all along the greenway in the early spring creating a look like snow on the marsh edge each year.  I have taken lots of photos of that bloom over the years but this is the first time I put it down on canvas.
