Beach Sun Worshipers.

This was painted yesterday when I painted with the Fort Myers Beach Art Association Plein Air group.  Three of us sat under the pier at Times Square.  There were hundreds of people enjoying the sun.  I was a beautiful day.  I painted in acrylic and it was drying fast on my palette so the painting has a dry brush look.

Wicket Wings

I sketched this Tuesday afternoon, the first day we could paint for Paint the Beach.  It was a windy day and I all ready had finished a painting in the morning.  Wednesday morning, I went back and completed the painting.  I used masking fluid to save the whites.

Shrimp Boat View

I painted this from Lyle's yard.  He has a beautiful home right on the water.  He looks out every day at this scene.  About three years ago I was painting with the group and he came up to me to invite us to paint where he lives.  I took his name and phone number and put it in "Pauline's Addresses" in my computer.  I found it just in time for Paint the Beach 2013.

Golden Sand

The sand on Fort Myers Beach is really white.  But I always add yellow, blue and a red and let the three colors mingle, so my sand is always a different color.  Again I added rocks but we don't even have rocks.  Just feet prints.

Batik Roseate Spoonbill

I paint Roseate Spoonbills lots.  This is different because I used the batik technique.
