You do battle greens here. And when you are building up grasses, for instance, or bushes, and you are going for the "threes" to make things turn or grow up then you really have to watch those acid greens. The further south you go in Florida, the more you have to watch the acidity in all your colors. Sarasota, being sub tropical, is harder to paint for me on a bright sunny day then St. Petersburg. The aqua, the brilliant emeralds. and the citrus greens just look like bad postcards...even if they really do look like that!...if you paint them like that. You are always toning things down here. This article will really help me think about how to best do this. Thanks Robert. This is indeed helpful information. You do battle greens here.
