I recently licensed my colorful grouper fish art to a Floridian to wrap their boat!  How cool is that?  There is no end to the creative ways that my art can be licensed and enjoyed. 🙂

I’ve always been a dreamer……but I’m not the only one (ha ha).  Some of my nighttime imagery is wild with amazing colors and detail.  It is inspiration for my painting and other creative works.  I see places that certainly do not exist in the realm I currently inhabit.  I have lived and died in my dreams.  Heaven has been at my doorstep many times.  I also travel to far away lands and meet interesting people.  I wonder what some people dreamt when they were here. What did Da Vinci see in his visions?  Andy Warhol?  Elvis?  Alas we will never know, but I like to think that Galileo might have experienced something like this piece.  My art is my dream and I thank you for joining me on my voyage…

I just returned from a little 3 day getaway to St. Augustine, Florida.  The weather was absolutely perfect….crsip….cool and sunny.  The kind of weather we Floridians live for.  I had been through this historic town one time in my life, but never really explored all of the nooks and crannies.  Of course we visited all of the typical suspects….The Castillo De San Marcos National Monument….The Lightner Museum….Flagler College….etc.  But what really intrigued me the most were the out of the way places.  The smaller details that are so often missed by most tourists.  One cool morning we decided to make our way in the opposite direction of the hubbub and we found some really beautiful old homes.  This vintage door really grabbed my attention.  

We also found this cute little harbor….Camachee Harbor near St. Augustine Beach.   There were colorful vessels docked and waiting, but there was also this gorgeous line of white boats.  The big crystal clear blue sky made the perfect backdrop.

This is a photograph of a very old anchor.  So many stories in this piece just thinking of all of the exotic places it might have been.  Now it rests on dry land as a piece of “art”.  I found it in Sarasota, Florida on a morning walk along the bay.  It made me think of my childhood learning how to sail with my Uncle Tom.  I never fully got the hang of it, but it sure was fun to be out in the ocean with the wind pulling us along.  He did all of the work as us kids “helped”.  I can still feel that wind and smell that salty air today….

It’s that time a year again in Florida….hurricane season!  We start logging into NOAA daily to see what is forming off of the coast of Africa.  We listen to the news a little more closely and when the warning is issued we stock up on canned goods, water and batteries.  I’ve lived in this beautiful state my entire life and I have survived many nasty storms including major hurricanes. These things are quite humbling….you realize just how powerful Mother Nature really is.  But I would not live anywhere else…..I just keep an eye on the sky….
