Second pastel in 40 years and I really like it. My plein air class went to Oscar Scherer State Park in Nokomis, Florida. This is a tidal portion of the Myakka River. The river is very dark and mysterious, as well it should be with alligators, snakes, turtles and other such things. I like the feel that I was able to get with dark green paper as a starting point. Spring in Florida has very different colors than in the north. Some of the colors are more indicative of fall up north. As a gardener, this is the end of the growing season for annuals. The night ground temperature rises to temperature that affects the roots of most annuals .More next week from Sleeping Turtle Park in Venice, Florida
