Be sure to make Mill Creek Metro Park’s Weller Gallery at Fellows Riverside Gardens your next road trip to see Beth Basista’s 50+ paintings in oils, acrylics, watercolors and mixed media. You’ll see 30 scenes throughout beautiful Mill Creek Park, plus animals, birds, beaches, still lifes, and more – even shell art! With Christmas just around the corner consider buying a painting for that special person on your list - especially those who are hard to buy for! Oh and plan to tour the beautiful gardens, and hike the many trails throughout the park.
Storms a Brewin'
This painting shows how the seashore along the southern coast of Sanibel Island looked the day before a hurricane hit. The winds were too strong to paint en plein air, so I painted from a photo on a frameless canvas in my studio using oils. I enjoyed using loose brush strokes and contrasting colors to capture the dramatic scene.
Thankfully this hurricane left minor damage as it skirted up along the western coast of Florida. #bethbasistapaintings.com, #stormy beach, stormy #sky painting, #impressionism, #americanimpressionistsociety, #pleinairpainting, #fineartist, #mvartists.org/bethbasista/
