Their daughter June and husband Bob rescued a “breeding mom” dog retired from a puppy mill. Little Miss Piper, it seems, had at least 12 litters before they brought her home, where she is now spoiled rotten and enjoying anything her little heart desires, which includes no more boyfriends.

Puppies, lions, tigers, and bears, oh my, and alligators too…

I painted this Everglades scene to benefit the Naples Museum of Art, the requested size for Incognito is 8″ x 10″,
and while this one is 10 inches wide…

Here are a couple I completed for the lobby of the Gramercy on Gulfshore Blvd…

Here are a couple out of the collection of Dick and Jackie Bearse. Incidentally, Jackie informed me that she selected her wall color to specifically enhance artwork. A tip of the beret to Jackie!

In May, I completed a couple of pieces for the contemporary home of Jennifer Newman. This one is called, “Island Shimmer”…

And a second, “Serenade”…

I’ll finish with a couple of Naples scenes, one of a beach near the pier…

and another of the vivid Royal Poinciana trees that bloom in the summer and fall months, just gorgeous…
