Windy Day in the Dunes
|
It's mid-August, and I find myself just posting paintings from February! We spent some time in beautiful St. Augustine, FL and did several plein air paintings. The ocean is a must for us and this destination had the ocean and much more... history, architecture, gorgeous beaches and of course a seemingly unlimited number of food options. It beat shoveling!
To the east was the ocean; to the west, the Matanzas River. We pretty much canvassed the whole area. And always we returned to the beach for extensive walks and of course some paint outs.
The paths to the shore consisted of a very wide swathe of dunes. So pretty!

At the southernmost tip of St Augustine Island was the Matanzas Inlet. This uprooted tree replanted itself on the river bank creating lots of shadows set off by the blinding light.

We frequented the historic downtown area often, touring, shopping and eating. Of course, as the nation's oldest city, founded in 1565, there were forts, piers, shrines, quaint alleys and bridges all worth visiting.
St Augustine - plein air painter approved! 😊
