Oil on canvas, 6" X 8"
Paintings can be purchased for $95 plus s/h: from the artist

One of my favorite things to do is to drive around and see how and where people live. I do this everywhere I travel to, be it a Southern California beach town or an island. This scene is really about an island memory from one of these occasions.

Sunlit Tropical Coconut Palm, red flowers, blue lake by Jenny Floravita



Oil on canvas, 6" X 8"
Paintings can be purchased for $95 plus s/h: from the artist

Last month I had the honor of exhibiting in Miami for the Art Basel/Art Miami shows. I took a red eye flight on a Saturday night into Ft. Lauderdale and arrived early Sunday morning. Knowing that my condo wouldn't be ready until the afternoon, I drove directly to the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden and toured this treasured garden almost until closing.

The amazing thing is that if felt like I was there just yesterday as I know this garden so well. In reality, my last visit was during the week of Hurricane Charlie.

Flying over the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor

SOLD
Oil on canvas, 6" X 8"
Paintings can be purchased for $95 plus s/h: from the artist

This was a really neat moment...a flock of birds was flying out of the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and a sail boat was cruising in. One of my closest friends used to live behind this tidy little harbor and painting these scenes brings back many fond memories of walking and talking on the beach followed by cups of Sweet & Spicy tea.

The next several paintings will be of this area.
