Preview "Art at The Gardens" The Gardens Hotel 523 Angela St., Key West February 28th 4 - 7:30 p.m. public invited

This will be my 11th winter returning to Key West. Its
hard to describe what it is about this place, it is easier
to paint it.

"Island Night" a landscape of this enchanting
island was painted at my studio in 1999 during our
first winters stay. Eleanor Rigby Van Gough, the
orange tabby has since left us but our hearts remain
between Key West and Bar Harbor.

It is here in Key West that I found the
inspiration for my "Blue Fish" Series moving me
on from landscapes to animated interiors while
continuing on my path of discovery.

acrylic on canvas
36 x 36

asking $8800.

For this years show I will bring some of
my past works along with NEW paintings,
drawings, prints and my recently published
coffee table book Artlook.

Key West is where the first sketches were
made during last winters trip so it only feels
fitting to have it be the first venue to present
the book.
