Inspiration for Live Oak Cluster

Since the weather had entered full spring mode here in the Florida Panhandle, I returned to one of my very favorite painting places at Naval Live Oaks, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. I simply can’t get enough of the tranquility of that particular stretch of Pensacola Bay. Basking in the late afternoon sun, gazing over the saturated blues and greens of a verdant paradisiacal seashore…what could be better?
