Blue, blue and more blue, this has to be one of the most soothing of colors. Though in the foreground a dark storm cloud is looming, chances are it will dissipate within a half hour. Because the keys are a collection of small specs of islands, clouds and stormy weather seem to pass us right by. I think because our land mass is so small there is nothing to keep a storm lingering, so most of the year the days are filled with sun and wisps of clouds. This 10" x 10" original oil painting sells for $250

Kite flyer

Another lovely day is ending in the Keys as the bewitching hour descends upon us. The fun and joy of children running down the beach, flying kites and splashing in the water is a perfect end to a perfect day. I just love that water, love that sky, love that sunset, love the wondrous effect it all has on me. This oil painting is 10" X 20" and sells for $1200

A DAY AT THE BEACH


The beach is one of the best places to go and watch people, gaze off into the seas, listen to the surf and feel that all is one with the universe. The lure of the ocean is that it has a wonderful soothing effect that engulfs our very being. Everyone can just be themselves, there are no airs, no one is wearing designers clothes or driving expensive clothes, there are no judgements there is only peace.

This could be anyone, any family, any stranger at any beach in the world. If you are wondering it is a painting of the Bahia Honda Beach which is MM40 on the keys in Florida. Voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world. This oil painting is 24" x 18" and sells for $899

Thunder head cloud

I guess I spend so much time in the clouds, because the situation here on earth seems more elusive, then the ever changing skies. I turn on the news or pick up the paper and it is hard to make heads or tails as to what is going on in the world. All is turned upside down, flaunting your sexuality at any age is a good thing and believing in traditional marriage is a bad thing, you be the judge. I only know that in the topsy turvey world that we live in I can count on looking up every day and being totally calmed by our audacious sky.
This original oil painting is painted on a 9" x 12" gallery wrapped canvas, and continues on all four sides. Price $199

Fading Fay


This is the after effects of Hurricane Fay. I live in the Keys so the approach of a hurricane brings about all types of feelings, anticipation, concern, hours of preparing our homes, stocking up on food water and gas, the excitement and then the long wait. We were lucky that Fay was just enough of a hurricane to cause a small frenzy, but not enough of a hurricane to cause any major damage. What is most thrilling are the cloud formations, the feeder bands, and then the sun's rays as it peeks through the clouds as the hurricane heads out.
This oil painting is 20" x 14" price $499

Rowboat on the Gulf

Looking out from my porch I see a lonely rowboat anchored in the Gulf. The setting is serene and the image does much to calm my being. In this painting the only tangible subjects are the boat and the small mangrove islands. In this painting I hope to accomplish a sense of peace and harmony.
