The First Set of Five



This first set of five original oil paintings from the 50 collection is titled "Everglades Sawgrass".  These scenes are indelibly burned into my memory from the many times I drove across Alligator Alley from Miami to Naples and back again.

Painting in groups of five allowed me to focus on the type of landscape as a group.  I could also use most of the same paint mixtures in each of the five, so I did not have to mix new paint for the next painting, which kept me from wasting paint.  And all oil painters know how expensive that can be.
