St. George Island and Apalachicola FL


Our family makes a yearly pilgrimage to St.George Island, just off the historic little town of Apalachicola. We returned from this year's trip just last week. These plein air paintings are new, the horizontal (11x14) painted on part of 2 hot days just behind our house on the island and the vertical (16x12) in Apalachicola on 1 day. I further worked on the vertical painting in the studio after our return to Nashville, trying to maintain a spontaneous feel without going overboard on detail.
