Walking Hand in Hand

Walking in Hand in Hand

SW Florida is known for our amazing sunsets. Our sunset sky blazes in brilliant oranges, pinks, and purples that can seem unreal. I’ve been in traffic that has come to a stand still as the drivers begin to slow their speed so they can gaze in awe and wonder at its beauty. Privacy walls around our pool areas…yeah, well not so pretty in their cell block look. Not to worry, that’s what muralists are for. In a series of lanai murals in one local community, this one celebrates our sunset skies with a boy and girl walking hand in hand.

Serenity Now

In 1997 the cult classic sitcom Seinfeld show aired its 159^th show titled “Serenity Now”. The character Frank Costanza is advised to say “Serenity Now” in an attempt to control his anger and lower his blood pressure. If it were that easy, we’d hear “Serenity Now “echoed around the globe at the moment.

A client in the process of updating her home on an incredible property in Manasota Key is remodeling a lounge area into a reading room. Her love for the lotus flower, sometimes referred to as the water lily, and her collection of Asian art pieces was the launching pad for a commissioned painting for the room. The request for the art piece was to combine Impressionism and Realism, the tranquility of water, and the pink lotus flower.

The painting titled” Serenity Lotus” is on stretched gallery wrapped canvas 30” x 30” with the images painted first in acrylics and then troweled in clear plaster. The result peaceful, serene, and durable:

Hidden details lay within the waters, perfect for gazing and relaxing :

We all need some serenity now. To commission your painting, contact me at Swan Studios Inc

Quarantine Island

As everyone on the planet has social- distanced themselves from each other in a voluntary self-quarantine, our homes have become our oasis more than ever. Here in gorgeous SW Florida we at least have fabulous weather and most homes are equipped with a swimming pool. Our pools and lanais are more out of need than want since we are now tipping into over 90 degrees daily. An added bonus is apparently Covid-19 is obliterated in sunlight. Hooray! Now more than ever home-owners are wanting to have outdoor murals painted on otherwise depressing bare walls. The most recent is a sea of tranquility featuring a bright blue sky and a distant tropical island. The colors match perfectly with our own sky and the homes pool water. The lanai is now the perfect place to relax, sip cocktails, and stay virus free.
