Florida... What a wonderful place! Finally getting a chance to show some of the plein air paintings. This one was a quicky from our balcony. First morning light. I concentrated on only painting the big shapes of shadow and light. Took about 45 mins and has no real detail than the palm. But it does convey the essence. I think I am beginning to understand how to leave things out. You just have to paint what was important to you in the moments you first looked on the landscape. Any other detail should be lost and left out. Much harder than it looks to do.
