Showtime

Molly's Gallery located at Molly's House, 430 SE Osceola St., Stuart, FL is hosting an artists reception Thursday, April 2, 2009 from 4 - 7 pm, with music by pianist Barbara Gomulka, for Hobe Sound artist, Doreen E. Lepore. The show features the paintings done as a result of "The Hobe Sound Project" and will be there throughout April. Gallery Hours are 10 am to 7 pm daily. A large portion of any sales will be donated to Molly's House.

The Trees

It's nearly the end of January 2009 already and there are still a number of paintings to be done. Of course the photo's are all that I've been putting on the blog because you will have to come to the show in April to see the paintings.

Not Hobe Sound

Happy New Year!

Attended my beautiful niece's wedding in the Phoenix area in December - just sharing a different landscape. They don't have a beach but plenty of sand. Those things in the background are mountains.

The Hobe Sound Project

The Hobe Sound Project took on new meaning today when I went out to paint the orange groves just past I95. It was a beautiful day and I found this great location to set up and paint. When I was close to finished with my painting, Mike the grove manager and friend arrived. They told me that the groves have taken a real beating in the past few years from hurricanes and disease. Becker Groves sold the land to developers and although they are still operating, some day these groves will be gone. They also told me that the trees that I had painted were the Honeybells - and they will get more colorful later on. So I'll definitely have to go back as much as possible!

Just as I was leaving the road crew arrived to clean up!
