"Rosita" - Island, Boat and Tropical Water by Judy Batterson

Pthalo blue and pthalo green make the perfect color combination to paint the shallow waters beyond the southern tip of Florida. The boats make the perspective possible while showing the persons who are island hopping. Rosita is the name of the closest boat. Inspiration for a vacation! This painting was chosen by the Casselberry Rotary Club and Caselberry Art House as the June painting published in their 2012 Calendar, featuring Florida artists. 9"H x 11"W

Key Largo Palms, Tropical Scene of Palms and Aqua Water by Judy Batterson

Just another day in paradise. This 24 x 36" oil on masonite shows three tall stately palms against a background of aqua water and a balmy sky. Tourists and ecotourists are beckoned to the Florida Keys by the tropical beauty of the cool colors. As I was painting this, a lady stopped to watch me. She finally spoke and said, "That's where I want to be...in your painting!" That made my day!
