"Florida Palm" - Auction Starts Today On eBay at 6 PM PT


"Florida Palm"   - 8" x 6"  - Oil



"Strong sunlight and a shadowed background always catch my eye. I tell my students, 'To find a plein air subject, look for light against dark or dark against light.'."  --- SFG 

NOTE TO ARTISTS: Nothing insures a successful painting than a subject that is in strong light against a dark background or vice versa. The subject is almost incidental.

"April in Archer"


"April in Archer" - Oil - 8" x 10"

"Spring azaleas were spotlighted by morning sun in the little town of Archer, Florida, outside of Gainesville. As often happens, locals stopped by and filled me in on the history of the place. It was once the residence of the owners of the local ironworks located across the street. Still in business after over 100 years, it still prospers. With personable managers who are enthusiastic about what they are doing, it's no wonder." --- SFG

"Til the Cows Come Home" - Oil - 11" x 14"

"This farm and field in Archer, Florida, was brilliantly lit in the spring light. Cattle ambled through the scene and I added them when they arrived at the best spots for the composition." -- SFG
