This listing is for an original watercolor painting of the Green Parrot Bar in Key West.
The actual painting measures 11 inches high x 14 inches wide. Matting and framing increase the overall size.
The art was framed using a beautiful float-frame presentation with coordinated color matting as the background. The effect of a float-frame presentation gives the illusion of a 3-D shadow box frame with a beautiful deckle edge to the painting itself, which seems suspended in the middle of the frame. Much more beautiful in person, a photograph does not do it justice.
SHIPPING: Each original painting is carefully packed and insured to ensure a safe and happy landing!
This artwork is perfect for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or "just because" keepsake gift, or decorate your own home with pops of color!
Consider paintings of your favorite places to brighten your indoor living space.
My mission has been to create colorful and whimsical art suitable for thoughtful gifts for special occasions and keepsakes.
This artwork is also available on archival paper and canvas in a convenient range of standard sizes, making gift-giving a breeze. My prints are archival-quality giclee printed on beautifully textured paper. Reminiscent of laid-back vacations, I love creating artwork that portrays colorful, whimsical vibes.
My artwork is designed and created on professional archival artist paper in the USA.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Like most artists, my work reflects my life experiences. I love bright colors and tropical locations. I paint because I feel excited when watercolors mix on paper and create dynamic effects. I love trying to capture the sentimental aspects of life in my art. I have lived in Florida for many winters and loved capturing the magic of the Florida Keys in my photography and art. I love the beauty of the coast in southern New Jersey. I enjoy creating art with different mediums -- acrylic paints, watercolor, pastels, mixed media, graphite, charcoal, pen and ink, ceramics, glass, and mosaics. I also love digital art and graphic design. I am grateful for my education, my outstanding professors, and everyone who has supported me.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is a reflection of my life experiences, infused with vibrant colors and inspired by both South Jersey and tropical landscapes. I want my new art to create a sense of whimsy and at the same time majesty to remind us of the beauty that is around us that we may take for granted, and how on any given day can we look back at the past and realize how beautiful it was! I want to appreciate the present moment more. I want to make trees and landscapes dance and sing with color. I want to bring beauty to every day life. My new word to encompass my life as an artist is WHIMSICALISM, because I seek to find the beauty and light-hearted fun in life.
