I painted this scene several times in a few different mediums. Here it is done in watercolor. I'll post the oil version also. I paint with several different mediums,
including oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylics, and combinations of some of them. I like all of them although I think my current favorite is oil. That changes from time to time. I also teach classes in all those mediums, at Pasco Hernando Community College and/or the Pasco Arts Council. What's that saying? Jack of all trades, master of none? or something like that. Hmmm. Anyway, I certainly don't consider myself a master of anything yet, and I know I still have a lot to learn. But that's the challenge and the joy of painting for me - there's always more to learn.

Thanks for visiting!
Here's that view again, this time done in oil. If you click on the picture, you can see the thick layers and texture of the paint. The reflections of the clouds on the water are what originally drew me to this scene.

Painted on a foggy day at Howard Beach in Tarpon Springs FL. We get a lot of humidity here in Florida, but foggy days like this are somewhat rare. I tried to capture the neutralizing grays created by the atmosphere. This painting is currently on view in the Contemporary Impressionists exhibit at the Tarpon Springs Cultural Center.
