Palms in the Mist

Old Florida Backcountry painting of Sabal Palm and Saw Palmetto

 in an abandoned Orange Grove

This original oil painting is 14" x 24" oil on stretched linen canvas and depicts a grove of cabbage palms and slash pine within an Everglades clearing. The day is misty and humid and a soft silvery light pervades the scene.

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

A series of paintings of the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

near Naples, Florida.

I've spent many hours working plein air in this magical place- looking to capture the essence of the pristine Florida wilderness- perhaps somehow witnessing through proximity to these massively giant trees that are a living link to secrets thousands of years old.

Everglades Majesty

Painted at the Collier Seminole State Park. Hiked in with my gear from the parking lot about 20 minutes

and found this amazing view... I could have been deep in the heart of the Amazon, miles from civilization, if I didn't know better.

Corkscrew Sentinels

Here's a plein air scene I painted in the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Southwest Florida.
Although situated in the city proper of Naples, the park is actually closer to Immokalee and Fort Myers.

The Abandoned Boat

Here's a painting that I executed near the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.

A favorite motif of mine- a boat out of water.

Another favorite group of Melaleuca and Sabal palm in Naples.

Everglades City Crab Boat

Here's a plein aire scene that I painted along the inlet in Everglades City where all the Stone Crab boats are tied up.The fisherman have their traps and gear stacked nearby and the multicolored floats hanging in the palm and malaleuca have great charm .
