Palm Cottage Naples Florida
I painted this view plein air, i.e., in one sitting from life, of the Naples Palm Cottage.
The Historic Palm Cottage is Naples oldest house (1895) and is proudly maintained by the Naples Historical Society and is located at 137 12th Avenue South,(at Gulfshore Blvd.) a block East of Naples Pier. On May 24, 1982, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
It was the summer cottage of the Louisville, Ky Courier Journal and Times then owner/editor, Walter N. Haldeman. Other Louisvillians owned homes in the area in this era.
The house is owned and operated as a museum by the Naples Historical Society

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.

Falling Water S.P. Florida
Here's the finished painting of Falling Water State Park,
The painting took some time for me to capture the essence of the falls.
The sense of the mist and the rainbow materializing in a ray of light that falls into the shaft, with ferns
clinging to the sides of the rock. Beyond and above there is the creek that tumbles forward, yet never reaching the river as it it's fate is to be swallowed by the earth.
