The Cortez Painter

New commission alert! 🎨 Starting with charcoal to lay the foundation for this scene at the Starfish Restaurant. It’s going to be a beautiful gift for a client’s mother. Drop a ❤️ if you love seeing the behind-the-scenes!

This is the finished commission hanging in the dining room of his cute bungalow in Cortez Florida. It incorporates his wish of his families pontoon boat, which they use to scurry around the coast visiting all the charming little restaurants and attractions into the Painting. The frame is a donation from the Miano Academy of Art in Sarasota. I incorporated the hurricane damaged pine trees to add to the character..

My paintings hang at the Starfish in Cortez Florida.. A gentleman expressed his love of the place and commissioned a painting of it.
It’s a drawn out process
But I love to paint

This painting features the famous "netcamp" of Cortez Florida. After it completely disappeared during Hurricane Helene I wanted to capture on canvas the incoming storm and its last moments. A kind benefactor who's home was also flooded from this storm purchased it and it now hangs in their newly reconstucted dining room. Thanks guys!
