Description
The other morning I woke up early enough to explore interesting subjects to paint. I walked around Lauderdale by the Sea with my sketchbook and camera. There was quite a bit of activity in the seaside village. From scuba divers and snorkelers to the morning walkers everyone seemed to be enjoying the bright morning.
I spotted a narrow walkway with the sunlight streaming towards me. A planter with a cactus was outside a green door and it seemed to have a spotlight directly on it. Immediately I had to paint it. After sketching the scene and taking some photos I headed home to paint the morning cactus spotlight.
Painting alla prima or in one sitting I finished the original oil on canvas shown below.
MORNING CACTUS SPOTLIGHT

Painted and signed by the artist in 2017. Can be purchased with a quality wood picture frame. Otherwise, painting is shipped unframed for free.
Living by the sea year round has inspired P.J. to paint the rolling surf, shorebirds, and the ever changing skies found along the coastline. P.J. spends her time in Connecticut on the shores of Long Island Sound and during the winter months she can be found painting along the southeastern coast of Florida.
