Tampa Bay Sunset - SOLD


I have been spending more time in Tampa, FL recently. I discovered a park near the Tampa airport which is quite close to where I stay. It has a small beach, sea oats, mangroves and a little marsh area. A little bit of paradise for an artist with just a short amount of time. I found this is a nice place to watch the sunset in the evenings. There are some birds that like to frequent this area also. Sometimes they are scared off by the airplanes that look like they are flying 100 feet off the ground as they land at the nearby international airport. Above; is a recently painted sunset which is 22 x 30 inches wide. I loved the purple colors contrasting with the orange lights. I've done a few sunset paintings and I liked this one most of all. 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
