This is a palm I can see out the window of my home studio over the garage. The coconuts must be removed before hurricane season. I have several I need to have cracked open. Hopefully no hurricanes!

New Art

This is Little House at the Botanical Gardens. (Pastel) I was painted plein aire at a get together with the South West Florida Pastel Society. It is really a little house in the Children's area. The Botanical Gardens in Naples is a must see if you are in the area.

New Ventures

Where have I been since October?? In November we moved to Naples. In March of this year (2011) I set up a studio/gallery in Naples. This is my new business card. I now have a place to go and create and sell...Yes, Sell! People actually buy art in Naples! I will be posting some of my new art...for you to see and Yes, Buy. Eventually, I hope to set up a web site with PayPal and the ability to provide prints and framing. The Shirley Street 16+ is a great group of artists of all kinds. We have monthly events...the 3rd Sat and Sun of the month from 11-4 with refreshments. Otherwise, you can make an appointment or possibly catch me working.

North Lake Sunset

This is from a photo that I took at Sunset at the Beach in Naples at the end of our street. (North Lake) The first one is a pastel on pastelmat and the second is gouache on a black board

I googled then embellished this scene in Downtown Naples. Can't wait to take my own photos.

Shell 2 is a smaller painting. I will add more information on these in the comment section later.

Naples

I have become inspired by shells in Naples. This is Shell 1. I need a more creative name. Help me! I think this is a 9X12 but may be 8x10. on Pastel mat. I will have to check.
