Patron Holds Painting That Got Away

My newest patron and I stand in front of the palm shown in this, the only photo of the little painting that got away. A lovely lady and new friend, she is not tied to email so I won't name her.

Much thanks for adding two of my plein air paintings to her collection. We'll meet up again at Open Air Arts in Melrose next week.

Newspapers Step Up for Ice House Exhibit

Gainesville Sun posted a great article on Ice House Gallery and its current exhibit with interviews of 3 artists including my friend Ocala landscape palette knife artist Peggy Watts.

Suwannee River View is another of my paintings now on view. More art at previous post.

****Star Banner published with even more photos ******* addendum

You could stop in after your friend and family outing to this weekend's Orange Lake Overlook event.

Here's to Florida weather for fun, food, music, painting, great scenery! More on OLO soon because you don't want to miss a great afternoon and two new free Florida Scenic Guides.

Ice House Gallery Exhibits New Works

George Ferreira, is a master of wood sculpture and sculptural furniture. As owner of Ice House Gallery in McIntosh, FL, has curated a magnificent exhibit of New Works by selected regional artists, and I'm honored to have my work included.

He has beautifully lit Suwannee River Moss Too and hung it to show possibilities to prospective collectors. You can gaze up at the Spanish moss.

You can see how beautiful the gallery is inside. Outside it still looks like the ice house it once was.

Locals have driven by for years noting "it's always closed." But no more!

New hours are Thursday - Sunday from 1 - 5 pm and by appointment.

p.s. Several of my smaller intimate landscapes hang in a smaller, more intimate room off the main gallery.

Can you see yourself slowing exploring room after room uncovering yet another treasure just around the corner?

This exhibit runs through March 21.

Paintings at Bakers n Cooks

Speaking of Bakers n Cooks, Marie has graciously agreed to continue to exhibit my citrus paintings. Banana Jewel hits the food painting spot too. It's beautifully lit so you can get the full 48 x 36 inches effect.

If you're in Ocala, please stop in for some yummy eats, gourmet kitchen shopping, and art browsing.

p.s. One of the customers tells me the painting is of plaintains, not bananas. Thoughts?
