First post in a Florida series

This year's Spring Break trip to Florida was memorable for the chaos that resulted from an ill-timed blizzard on the day of our scheduled departure. Nevertheless, we were still able to spend a whole week in St. Augustine, a city still recovering from a devastating hurricane last Fall. Here's one from the porch of our B&B on the river. Oil on wood panel, untitled as yet.

The Sunshine State

Yes, Florida! We shoveled out from a gigantic snowstorm and were in sunny Florida within a few days of our scheduled arrival date. The weather was on the chilly side but NO SNOW whatsoever!
Here's a couple of tourists visiting the St. Augustine Lighthouse.

A Toast to Nostalgia

I had lunch recently with a couple of townies — people I've known for over 50 years. Our formative years were spent in Andover, Massachusetts — the subject of this small pastel. From a mid-century photo, this will be the basis for an oil painting.
