My 12th painting from the gulf coast area. I’ll soon have representation in the area. Stay tuned!

Vanishing Point Sanibel II
My painting practice involves attempting to create a rich and prismatic sky of pastels, from horizon to zenith, as often seen in the magical hours of the day both in the morning and at evening time. This, with a knife.
Vanishing Point Sanibel
Every now and then I have to paint with a knife to see and feel that very fresh paint. This is the beach on Sanibel.
Ian Survivor
I continue to be infatuated with my own little happy staycation place, Sanibel, Florida. The Sea Grape tree, plant, bush, shrub really, is of particular interest since the devastating effects of hurricane Ian. Enjoy.
Ibis Stroll
My practice is currently focused on the Ibis, the Seagrape, and the waters edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
Quiet Calm
The fourth in a series of paintings up and down the gulf shore. This one is still on Sanibel, where you can often feel wonderfully alone on the beach. Well, almost alone!
A Walk on the Beach
There is a particular ether to the light at Sanibel Island, Florida. If you know the place, you might be familiar with why this is so. Sanibel is shaped like a shrimp, with Captiva being the tail. The apex of its back, which is exactly where the Casa Ybel property is situated, faces straight south towards Key West and beyond to Havana, Cuba. Therefore, like no other beach, the Sun comes up where the beach meets the water in the East, and goes down where the beach meets the water in the West. Very unique, and very easy to get sun burned there. Stay tuned for more!
Sea grape
Here is my second in a series of the Florida Gulf Coast area in and around Sanibel Island. This is often what it looks like early morning Mid April. Stay tuned for more!
Sanibel Island Strong
I’ve been going to Sanibel, Florida for over twenty years in the spring, vacationing from Iowa. Though as a young man, I romanticized the west and always thought I’d paint there forever. These days find me dreaming of the gulf coast. I’d like to start wintering down there. So here is my first gulf coast painting. Hopefully, I’ll get into a gallery down there, and that will certainly go a long way in justifying the idea of being there for extended periods of time during the season. Stay tuned!
