Painting around Ft. Myers

      Gary and I have the opportunity to spend the winter in Ft. Myers, FL.  We love exploring new areas and thought getting out of the cold would be a great opportunity.  I have found 2 plein air groups to paint with but I have also gone out on my own and painted.  I love the light in Southwest Fl.  We have had mostly sunny skies and everything seems brighter against the blues waters and bright sunny skies.  Our condo is near Lakes Park which is a beautiful lake with walking paths and lots of activities.  We are also very near the bridges leading to Sanibel, Captiva, and Ft. Myers beaches.
I am posting the first paintings I have done and will post more later.
