Moon Over The Wekiva - SOLD

I just returned from a week of painting along the Wekiva River in Central Florida. Over twenty-four artists painted for a week in Wekiwa State Park and the Wekiva River. It is quite an amazing place to hike, relax and enjoy wildlife. We were fortunate to stay in cabins in the State Park and able to wake up to deer and other animals roaming around the park. The springs were serene in the cool mornings with the mist rising over the water. The trips down the river were bountiful with birds, turtles and a couple of alligators. One evening all the artists participated in a sunset paintout at Wekiva Island. As the sun goes down I created this painting of the moon rising over the Wekiva. The darkness of the evening is just as enjoyable as light of the day. Wouldn't you enjoy a canoe ride down this river? SOLD

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

Seminole State Forest

Image
It is winter in Florida and I enjoy the chance to paint some of the grasses that are dormant during the cold season. A recent frost has changed the color of the grasses to a raw sienna hue. A friend of mine; Linda, and I took a recent trip to Seminole State Forest west of Sanford. We stopped to do a painting of a small lake Linda and I came across. There was a variety of flora that I wanted to include in the composition; palms, pines, grasses and cactus. After finishing the painting we continued to explore the park. Seminole State Forest is one of many public properties in the scenic Wekiva River Basin. A few examples of the ecological diversity here are flatwoods, scrub, blackwater streams and bottomland forests. Be sure to get a permit in advance if you are planning to explore this state forest by motor vehicle. www.fl-dof.com/state_Forests/seminole.html
