The Gardner at The Polasek Museum

This is a painting of Randy when he was busy taking the tops off the older flowers. He is the person in charge of the gardens at The Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens. I'll be visiting with him next week when I am painting in his garden during The Winter Park Paint Out. The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculp­ture Gar­dens hosts its Fourth Annual Win­ter Park Paint Out dur­ing the last week of April. Twenty-six pro­fes­sion­ally acclaimed plein air artists will roam across Winter Park cap­tur­ing many of your favorite land­scapes and land­marks with oils, water­col­ors and pastels.
I will be doing a painting demonstration at 10AM Wednesday 4/25 under the big tent. I hope you'll join us.

Forces of Nature

I just completed painting in the Crescent Beach Plein Air Paintout. Over a week of painting on location along the beach and near the city of St. Augustine. Forces of Nature was an old cedar tree I found growing along the banks of a canal that led to the Intracoastal Waterway . I spent the afternoon with that tree for three days in a row. Trying to capture the light and strength that nature cast upon that old tree. The first two days I left unsatisfied, hoping I would be able to return again and finish the composition. On the third day I left joyfully, knowing I had created a nice painting. I didn't acutally know how good it was until I put it in the competition and it was voted Best of Show.

Casa Feliz - SOLD

The Winter Paint Out is over for another year. It was a great event and the weather held out for us all week. There were lots of wonderful paintings turned in from a great group of accomplished artists. I did this painting of the Casa Feliz during the paint out. It was designed by James Gamble Rogers II (1901-1990) a well known architect of Winter Park. I wanted to paint a section of the historical building, but when I got there I did what I usually do and painted the whole building. This painting will make a nice wedding present for the many weddings that are held at the Casa Feliz.  SOLD
