Palm Tree



#5
4 x 6

This is a plein air of the Palm tree in my back yard. I started painting about 7:30 pm trying to avoid the heat. I wear rubber gloves and of course it was hot. My hands started sweating so much the sweat was running down my hands onto my arms dripping onto my palette. But, I pushed on and painted until it got dark about 9pm. This is the results of my very first palm tree.
