A New Day Blooms, a Plein Air Original Oil Painting by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

"A New Day Blooms" framed 8x10 original plein air oil painting. I found out that Monet would go to the same site for days to complete a painting. If he could do that, so could I! I painted this one morning in a park. Later I went back and red flowers were blooming. I happily added the color. Thanks, Monet!

Reeds and Red Boat, Soft Impressionistic Oil Landscape by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist

Central Florida has so many beautiful lakes. This was painted at Lake Jessamine in Orlando.

And the lily pads made a peaceful scene. 9x12 original oil.

Lake Lily Ladies, Impressionist Plein Air Small Florida Oil Painting by Judy Batterson

Joining with a group of plein air painters, I set up my easel on the north side of Lake Lily in Maitland, FL. It was late afternoon, so we had to capture the sun and shadows quickly. Without a lot of details, I focused on three trees across the lake. The impressions of darks and lights were extreme as the sun dropped fast. This is the resulting painting and a special memory of Lake Lily. 9"H x 12"W Price: $ 225.00

Mead Garden Turtle, Impressionist Florida Oil Painting by Judy Batterson

In Winter Park, Florida, an untouched natural piece of Florida known as Mead Garden has been preserved. It is tucked away behind neighborhoods as Winter Park's secret garden! My children explored there like I used to do. The serene 47 acres have a swamp boardwalk, a butterfly garden, shady pathways, and a pond where turtles sun themselves on fallen logs. Generations continue to go there to see the turtles. The pond has lily pads and heavy, shadowy foliage. Hence the Impressionistic composition with cool colors. 18 x 18" original oil.

Plein Air Morning, a Florida OIl Landscape by Judy Batterson

Plein Air Morning at Cypress Grove Park: The weather was perfect when I set up to paint in the middle of the field at Cypress Grove Park. The morning sunlight hit the large oak trees and the grass with intensity. This painting is all about the dramatic darks and lights that I saw before me. I loved mixing the oils and capturing the morning on canvas! I would call this style Contemporary Impressionism. Available at The Orlando Museum of Art. 9"H x 12"W framed Price: $ 225.0
