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

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
