Pleased to announce that this Plein Air "Anastasia State Park" received Merit award from Lakeland Artists Association on display at RP Convention Center Lakeland Florida. The artwork is a landscape painting depicting a natural scene dominated by trees and a path. The central focus is on a pathway that leads through a forested area with lush green foliage. Prominent in the foreground are twisted, gnarled tree branches, adding a dynamic and somewhat whimsical element to the scene. The sky in the background is a bright, clear blue, providing a striking contrast to the deep greens and earth tones of the trees and path. The painting is framed in a dark frame that enhances the vividness of the colors within the artwork.
