"The aim of art is 
to represent not 
the outward appearance 
of things, but their 
inward 
significance."

Tupelo on 4th

I love all the little old Key West style houses here in Safety Harbor.  They epitomize the charm and character of our little town on the shoreline of Tampa Bay. 

From time to time I do a painting or two of different ones.  Years ago I did a watercolor, One Thirty Five of this same little two story bungalow.  Over time, the house changed hands and the new owner worked diligently to update and renovate it without losing it's original charm.  The owner recently commissioned me to do a watercolor of this darling little house which is now called Tupelo on 4th.

Watercolor on archival paper. 16 x 20 inches. 2015.
