Plein Air Painting at Casey Key
















North Jetty, Casey Key, Oil on panel, 7 in x 5 in.

Last Monday I spent the morning painting at Casey Key. The forecast was for rain but I decided I could at least do some quick studies. The temperature was cool and cloudy, which was perfect for my comfort, but the grey clouds muted the colors of the sky and water. Sea oats towered over me and framed my view nicely while I stood near a high dune. I chose a view of the North and South Jetties as I faced South. I could only paint a simple impression on such a small panel, but it captures the essence of the scene that was before me. For more of my art visit my website at Sharon Guy Art.
