Allan,
I think one of the most difficult things to pull off is to incorporate the ground color in your painting - as in a vignette. It's like being on a tight rope without a net. When you cover the entire board there's usually a way to escape any problems that you encounter.
And for the continued tolerance and kindness of you, and all my forum friends, I offer this glimpse of some of our "in the dead of winter" Florida activities. I took this photo today at the Lemon Bay boat ramp in Englewood, Florida.
