I passed this little group of sea oats every morning on the path to the sea. My favorite activity was to walk the beach as the sun was rising, with only the occasional fisherman or shell hunter and lots of pelicans and gulls for company.

Daily Painting, Oil, "The Beach at Sanibel", 6x8" SOLD
A recent trip to Sanibel brought me plenty of images to paint. Of course, the beach had to be the star.
I had not visited the area for many, many years, and I must admit that I forgot how beautiful it is. The water is aqua and clear, much like the tropical waters of the Caribbean Islands.

Daily Painter, "All In A Row" 4x12" Original Oil SOLD
Last month we spent a few days at Sanibel. Each morning I would walk down the path to the sea, surrounded by sea grapes.
As I would approach the the beach, the tops of brightly colored tents would come into view.
Soon the beach would be alive with beach goers, some of which, spent the whole day under the tents. One group of men would carry table and chairs down each morning, and spend the day playing dominos on the beach.
I was more of a wimp and limited my beach time to early morning and early evening, less crowds and less heat!

Daily Painting, "Going Coconuts", Landscape, 6x8, Oil
This is another of my daily paintings from my trip to Sanibel Island in May.
My daughter and I were getting our exercise, taking a little walk before it was too hot one morning, trying to dodge all the people on bicycles without getting hit, when I saw this palm loaded with coconuts.
We live in Florida and see lots of palm trees, but our area is further north and coconut palms are not as common there. There is a lot going on under those palms, all kinds of fibers hanging, old dried up fronds and other miscellaneous materials and of course, the coconuts. It almost has an abstract quality.
Enjoy!
