Cypress trees cover the shoreline of Blue Cypress Lake in the middle of Florida. And when the sun sets, the sky
becomes vibrant with color. This large oil painting is on exhibit at Leu Gardens in Orlando until July 9, 2014.
This larger oil painting was painted with soft colors. Tropical breezes, clusters of palms and soft sand were the focus of my painting. Clouds are typical of Florida summer afternoons. This is on exhibit at Leu Gardens until July 9, 2014.
This 12 x 24 oil painting is from a houseboat trip along the St. John's River. The yellow sky is from the sunrise. The palms lined up for miles on the water which was filled with gators while birds were everywhere. Quite an adventure! This painting is now on exhibit at Leu Gardens until July 9, 2014.
This painting continues to draw viewers into it as they want to explore the island with the kayakers who
are out counting turtle nests! That was happening when I first saw the kayaks on the sand while I was in a nearby boat. The kayaks belonged to the Marine Discovery Center of Volusia County, FL. Capturing that adventure in oil made an exciting painting experience! The painting has won many awards and most recently was chosen for the city of Casselberry 2014 Art Calendar.
There are many tiny islands in the Keys with teeny tiny island cottages. Although the cottage I saw was old and weathered, I painted this one with fun island colors. The entire canvas was underpainted in blue, then many layers were added until the tall palm finished the landscape. I like the way the tiny house on the tiny island gives such a contrast to the tall palm in front of it. Such a fun painting and a joy to paint! Tall and tiny and tropical! 12" H x 36" W oil on canvas. Now hanging in an island house with a happy owner!
"Sunset Beach" Had some fun with bright colors painting a sunset. Just visited Sunset Beach where the palms grow in the sand next to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunset Beach is by Tarpon Springs. The sunset was so vivid that colors bounced everywhere!
What would Ponce De Leon have seen five hundred years ago when he set foot in La Florida? He would have seen
island hammocks along the Intracoastal Waterway just as we see today. These marshy hammocks have mangroves, palms,
lush foliage, and abundant wildlife. Waters run with the tides from the ocean in these low coastal areas. We still
enjoy this cool palette of tranquility. 16 x 20" original oil.
Florida has not only beautiful natural areas but also beautifully landscaped courtyards all over the state. I painted this one at Pointe Orlando while I was set up in front of Battersby Gallery there. Tourists love to watch artists paint! And I enjoyed the courtyard! 5"H x 7"W Price: $ 75.00
