Another Florida palm tree. There are so many palms down south, they all feel the same after a while. But if you look really closely, they have their own distinct profiles and personalities. This one looks like an old grandpa to me, a little worse for the wear but still very strong and vibrant. Painting quick, plein air watercolor landscapes gives me a chance to explore a more abstract composition and play with strong, bold color.

I’m doing the plein air paint-out up north today. Doing a “no rain” dance!
