Grassy Waters Preserve II

This is the second en plein air painting I did at Grassy Waters. The distraction de jour was an alligator who insisted on hanging out on my side of of the water. It was on the bank about 60 yards from me just chillin'. The painting is an oil on 8 by 10 inch cotton canvas board.

This is the air boat docked at Grassy Waters Preserve. It's used by the personal but I have never seen it  in operation.

Grassy Waters Preserve I

The first of two en plein air oil paintings I did at the Grassy Waters Preserve in West Palm Beach, Florida. It's on an 8 by 10 inch canvas board. This is a great little preserve; there is a resident pair of endangered Everglades Snail Kites living here.

Florida Journal - Grassy Waters Preserve

Tuesday was a bright sunny day, not too hot and not too cold. It was perfect for going to see the Grassy Waters Preserve on Northlake Blvd. in Palm Beach. It is a wonderful wetlands with a variety of birds, small mammals, deer and alligators.

Below are a few of the locals who kindly posed for me. I am not sure if the squirrel had eaten too much or a tummy ache.

A better photo of a Red-Shouldered hawk than I was able to get in the Orlando Wetlands. 

This is not the greatest photo I have ever taken but it IS a photo of a Snail Kite, a rare and endangered species which I have only seen once before this. Actually, there was a pair and the preserve rangers are hoping that they will nest there.
