Evening Sunset

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde

This painting was originally going to be a ship in the middle of the ocean. It is now on its way to being a picture of the sun setting at the Wakodahatchee Preserve. A beautiful place to take an evening stroll, Wakodatchee is the home to herons, ducks, turtles, alligators and a whole assortment of other wildlife. A boardwalk winds its way among several lakes dotted with small islands. At dusk white herons come from far and wide to claim a sleeping spot for the night. Its one of my favorite places to visit and fortunately is very close to my home. Anyway, this painting has a long way to go ~ am debating about adding a few ducks or leaving it as a simple landscape. We'll see.

This looks very soothing. I think the spelling of the preserve is off

I'm anxious to see where this one is headed.
