Hunting Island Palms, Acrylic on paper, 5x7", ©2012 Lucinda Howe

This small painting was created on location at Hunting Island State Park.  I used a thin wash of gold and lavender gray to suggest filtered sunlight and trees in the background and painted the palms with opaque paints in the foreground.

This 5×7″ painting and others from Hunting Island will be matted and available for purchase for $45.00 at the Open Studio event April 21-22.  I hope you will put the event on your calendar and plan to stop by.
