Winter Sun at Bonnet House


8 x 6 Oil

This little painting was started en plein air on a very chilly winter morning the last week in December, when the South Florida temperatures dropped into the low 50's. The polka dots of sunlight dancing on the Bonnet House wall captured my attention. The work was finished in the studio.

This painting is currently on exhibit in the gallery at the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The exhibition is called, "Impressions of Florida" (March 5 - May 2) and was a juried competition. Opening night was a festive affair, a dinner/auction on the Bonnet House grounds. I was thrilled to be in the show and my painting sold that night.
