Lia Chasar, owner of The Marinated Mushroom commissioned me to paint a series of whimsical, cheerful paintings. She wanted them to be bright and nature/water inspired. I love how they turned out. Lia seems to love them too!

“Ranked in the Top 100 art show’s in the nation!”
-Sunshine Artist
In their own words:
The Annual Mount Dora Arts Festival is the regions premiere outdoor art show. 285 artists from all over the country enter to compete in over $20,000 in cash awards.
For art lovers, casual festival-goers and families, nothing compares to the Mount Dora Art Festival. This festival is one of the largest in the state with about 285 artists from all over the world. Kicking off the festival season in Florida, more than 300,000 visitors and potential buyers attend the two-day event, which is ranked in Sunshine Artist’s Top 100 Festivals. While the fine art draws thousands to the quaint downtown, tourists journey to the festival to witness the striking beauty of the downtown itself.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet real artists and to begin your own art collection. With its downtown streets lined with New England architecture, this hilly destination overlooks the breathtaking view of Lake Dora. Other than the endless rows of fine art, including oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, clay, sculpture and photography, the festival features local and regional musical entertainment at a main stage in Donnelly Park. Festival food will be provided in separate food courts, while local downtown restaurants will remain open.
This Fine Arts Festival features some of the nation’s leading artists selected by a panel of jurors from nearly 900 applicants. These Artists provide the quaint, historic downtown streets with a colorful array of fine art! Over $21,000 in awards is handed out to artists earning honors for best of show, judge’s choice awards and best of category. This event is the premiere cultural event in the region. Local B&B’s book early for this event – be sure to reserve your room in one of the many wonderful B&B’s in town.
Hope to see you there!

Poppies in Citron Vase 30x20
Always poppies. Interesting how the stems twist and curve and I like the touch of black in the middle. I liked the way the circles on the vase fade. I can’t get enough of the bright yellow greens and various shades of turquoise with the earthy brown combination. And of course a playful bird at the top left to lighten the mood and invite whimsy.

This was a wonderful show…Elizabeth and David really know how to support local artists by exhibiting their work in this idealic setting. I enjoyed each visit with the Cypress Restaurant gang and Caroline was so helpful. I sold most of my art displayed during the three month show.
