Alligator Lane Day 25


The Savannah Wildlife Refuge is where the photo was taken, and from which I did this drawing. It is a wonderful almost primitive place with Southern moss hanging from the century old trees. It is a refuge for birds and animals, and of course, alligators. On warm sultry Summer days the alligators sun themselves in the marsh land and alongside the roadway. The roadway is elevated on either side of the marsh land by about 20 or 30 feet. No danger of an encounter with one of the primitive fellows unless you are incredibly careless.

Really beautiful Linda. I love to see a nice sketch, almost more than a painting.

I am enjoying landscape painting so much.  It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use.  They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
