Florida





I painted around Florida in 1994. I avoided Miami and the Condo Coast. A beautiful State Park Bahia Honda has always broken my heart to think how or if it has survived the onslaught of people. Most beautiful little beach in America.

I had a want to find the Roseate Spoonbills. It became a quest for that almost absurd looking bird.I found them at Ding Darling. I was bitten into Hamburger meat at Echo Pond at the end of the Everglades, but made some terriffic paintings there.

They call the State Parks the other Florida, and it certainly is almost empty compared to the coast.
