Leu Gardens

Painting in Orlando's Leu Gardens is always a great place to enjoy day. There are plenty of flowers to enjoy year round. The Harry P. Leu Gardens are semi-tropical and tropical gardens. The gardens contain nearly 50 acres of landscaped grounds and lakes, with meandering trails shaded by 200 year-old oaks and forests of camellias. I enjoy painting in the Butterfly garden area. There is one are that they grow vegetables in and it has a nice building that offers shade while I paint. Lots of kids like to visit and they are always amazed to see an artist busy painting int the gardens. I have some of these paintings available at Dutch Door Antiques; just down the street from the gardens at 3106 Corrine Drive.

    Just bought this painting today and it looks absolutely wonderful in our home. This painting is so bright and full of life. We have 5 of Stewart’s paintings now and we enjoy viewing every one of them. Thanks Stewart for sharing your talent with all of us.

Casa Feliz - SOLD

Image
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

Forces of Nature

Image
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.
