Path to Beach, Watercolor, 8x10"



The beach at the end of the path is one of the most beautiful in the world -- on Honeymoon Island. I loved the colors as the day ended. This island is a state park and has now been voted twice (an unusual accomplishment) for "most beautiful beach." I feel so fortunate to be only a short drive from here, and go often to paint its magic.

Path to Beach, Watercolor, 8x10"

Pavilion, Watercolor and Pastel, 8x10

Through a garden trellis, I could see the gazebo, surrounded by bamboo and other tropical foliage. I painted there for hours, accompanied only by the songs of the birds. I felt like I was in a mystical place. Actually it was a view of the Creighton Pavilion on the grounds of the Botanical Garden at USF in Tampa.

This painting is currently on display at the Dunedin Fine Art Center. The price there is $400.

Forest Path, Oil on Canvas, 8x10

Just before a turn on a path on Honeymoon Island, I set up my easel. It was very cold and windy this day and I was the only one from our plein air group who showed up to paint. I picked this spot because it was out of the wind and I liked the strong light on the side. Also there were many ospreys here and I could see and hear them well from this spot.

Florida Boardwalk, Watercolour, 10x12


My appreciation goes out to all those who build and maintain the boardwalks that allow me to wander the boggy trails of Florida. In New York, my house was near an entrance to the Adirondack Trail. There were boardwalks in places there also, as I am sure there are everywhere throughout our parks. Thank you, people and agencies, that give us natural spaces!

Victoria Drive Palms, 11x14, Watercolour

House in Heritage Woods


I have returned from visiting my home town of Phoenix, Arizona for the holidays. It has been nine years since I last went back, and I wonder if I will wait another decade to see my family again .... I was there for about 10 days, my daughters, Rita and Zoe, joined me for the last three. Overall a good trip,but with some moments of angst and sadness about the way we have drifted -- or have always been -- so separate from each other.
Anyway I did some paintings there of the desert and mountains which I found beautiful again. And I will post them here once I get them photographed.
This painting, however, is a small watercolor I did in the fall of a house in Heritage Village. I like the way the house peeks through the dense palmettos and trees, and the simplicity of its lines. Matted and Framed $150.

Heritage House

I did this watercolor of a historic house in Heritage Village, Largo, FL. It is surrounded by tall pines and palmettos, a common combination of vegetation found in Florida. Pines and palms -- seems like they would exist in very different ecosystems, yet here they thrive together in the tropical clime of Florida.

Loggerhead Mama


This is a watercolor of a loggerhead turtle laying her eggs. It was painted at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and is currently for sale in their gift shop. (She actually wasn't a live turtle, but a lifesize replica they have there. Much easier to paint animals when they don't move -- or only move slightly like this one)
