Some boat paintings from plein air Tuesdays. All are oil paint on panels.
The little white boat was at Shephards Park in Stuart, FL.
This is Jocko – he’s retired at the Indiantown Marina, Indiantown, FL.
Little sail boats at the sailing school next to Indian Riverside Park, Jensen Beach, FL.
This boat is named “At Last” and is anchored at Sunset Marina in Stuart, FL.
There are many more Tuesday paintings that I haven’t photographed yet. But here are a few that have been just waiting to be shared. My computer was totally out of order for awhile, so I’m still trying to catch up.
In the not too distant past, on a Tuesday of course, just before Christmas in fact, a friend and I decided we should go paint the red bridge on Jupiter Island. It was a beautiful day and there were plenty of people passing by. The bridge is located at the end of a bike path and connects the island to another smaller island called Harbor Island, that the local garden club maintains. My inclination is always to paint the bridge even though there are plenty of options over on Harbor Island. The only disappointment was that since the last time I was there, they painted the bridge a duller red than the true red it was for years. I’m hoping that they go back to the old color soon. It’s just not as brilliant as it once was. In spite of that though, my painting was sold before it dried.
So, this all happened 7 years ago. Recently, 2025, I was contacted by the buyer wanting to know if I was still painting. Something happened to the painting, got lost in a move or something. He commissioned me to paint a replacement. It was different, and harder to do because I tried to at least get the same viewpoint. Anyway, he’s happy with the new version of the red bridge.
As usual I’m behind in posting and photographing my Tuesday paintings. I’ve gone back to using the painting knife more and am more comfortable with the combination of brush and knife now.
This first painting is at Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach, FL – kind of a windy day.
On this Tuesday, it started out as a rainy day at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Garden, but it cleared up later.

This summer my main interest was in painting clouds because that’s when they’re at their best here.

Two of my plein air paintings were selected to be in this invitational show, which is already hung at the Elliot.
If you are in the area, hope you get a chance to swing by. 🙂
These two plein air paintings of the St. Lucie River were done at the Veterans Memorial Park in Port St. Lucie, FL. One is smaller. I was on a huge boardwalk. Several other people painted from the giant size picnic pavillion. It was a breezy, pleasant day with jumping fish.
Recently we, my plein air group, went to the Indiantown Marina. I had no idea how interesting it would be since this was my first visit there. The marina is mostly a boat yard, with rows and rows of dry docked boats. The boat I painted was called Topaz. I took pictures of many other boats and hope to paint them in the future.
Here is a plein air painting recently done on a Tuesday, of course.
This church is at the center of Hobe Sound, FL and is different on every side. So, I need to go back 3 more times at least to paint the whole church. It was a clear beautiful day and I was happy with this small charming painting.
