Wildlife Refuge, Oil Painting Florida Landscape

 

This is a scene from the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, a very diverse spot to visit.

It has trails, marshes, and the Cape Canaveral Seashore. This marsh is on the

Blackpoint Wildlife Drive, a popular spot for birders.

Shirley Temple Goes to the Royal Wedding, Papier Mache Doll

 

I saw a paper mâché doll on a children's craft site and I was inspired to make one of my own. A toilet paper roll and a styrofoam ball are the basis for this. I found the hair and the fascinator in a craft supply store. When I was done, the name popped into my head.

I was honored to be asked to use my drawing of John Lewis for the 56th Anniversary of the Selma Bridge crossing. This is taken from the video.

Venice Parking, Oil on Canvas

SOLD

Since I'm still recovering and have yet to open the oil paints, I am reaching way back to the past for this one. This was one of the best trips of my life, with my sister to Venice. I was surprised at how beautifully upholstered the gondolas were.

What the World Needs Now

  With these perilous and chaotic times, I decided to do a "message" painting.
