Summer Palm Painting

8/4/2017

Hot summer palms

There's a kind of palm tree here in Key West that has a really skinny trunk.  They're whacky and fun to look at.  I was never sure about the name of them until I googled them just a minute ago.  Google says they are Carpentaria Palms.

​Anyway, in my painting class last week I showed my students how to start a painting with a lot of drips. You get some drips flowing down your canvas or paper and  when they dry you take out your artistic license and turn them into something fun. I turned my drips and splatters into those "skinny palms" I'm fascinated with. (I learned this technique from artist Robert Burridge.)

​I also started a drips and blobs painting that's going to be sailboats,
