Mangrove At Dawn

 I returned to my oils for this large painting, and enjoyed the technique of rubbing out and actually painting some areas with a cloth. I used a limited palette for a different look than some of my tropical, more colorful paintings. I was inspired to paint this little red mangrove tree that I see on my early morning walks along the river road near my house.

Below is a smaller Acrylic version that I did  of this mangrove in the morning with a bit of a different perspective. It resides in the home of dear friends who also see this tree daily.
