Serenity Cove This serene island destination is bathed in a warm tropical sunset. The viewer can imagine themselves strolling around the cove collecting sea shells and enjoying the sweet aroma of tropical flowers.
Manatees This painting was commissioned by Al Hogue collectors, Bob & Laurie Shinn. The scene is inspired by both the, Shinn's and Al's love of Jimmy Buffet's music and theri mutual love of the Florida Keys. In the middleground, we see the float plane Jimmy Buffet uses to explore the countless islands of his Florida Keys. In the foreground we see Jimmy's parrot in the mangrove tree and the rare Florida Manatees swimming in the crystal clear Carribean Sea.
Heavens Light I was inspired to paint Heaven's Light by having taken many adventures to the Napali Coast of Kauai with my family. Waterfalls cascade from the clouds down the majestic cliffs as the heavens radiate pastel warmth across rolling surf.
