The St Petersburg Police: A Subtropical Noir View

July 15, 2008 – 11:19 am

The right time of day and atmospheric conditions can make anything look cool. The stretch of Central just north of Tropicana Field is kind of sparse and in need of infill to connect the Grand Central district with downtown St Pete, but at least it has a place to get drunk and a place to [...]

Crescent Lake Park, St Petersburg, Florida

July 14, 2008 – 11:07 am

I’ve always said: if it ain’t within walking distance of Euclid / St Paul’s neighborhood, my mutt and I can live without it. Okay, I’ve never said that. But I might say that in the future, if I forget my brain tonic.
This is Crescent Lake Park in St Pete, which is within walking distance of [...]

The Upgraded Booker Creek Park, St Petersburg, Florida

July 13, 2008 – 11:42 am

Booker Creek Park, which for all intents and purposes was useless until its 2007 revamp, sits behind (north) of Edward White Hospital, between 9th Ave N and 13th Ave N, just west of the 275 Freeway. Although it lacks mature trees and shade is sparse, it is a fine and underutilized lakeside park with observation [...]

Photos of 1950s St Petersburg Florida

July 12, 2008 – 8:30 am

I love Yahoo Pipes feeds. They can bring you almost anything. This morning I ran across these three pics from among “found” photos which had been labeled by the photographer as being from St Petersburg Florida.  Collector/Publisher  vieilles_annonces claims to be “Simply A Girl From the Midwest of the US of A”, which is, of [...]

Coney Island, Baby: YA St Pete Hot Dog Stand Cityscape

July 11, 2008 – 11:55 am

Why, you ask? Why do another damned view of the Coney Island Grill on MLK in St Petersburg? Well… the truth is that people like them. People want paintings of B-list landmarks of their hometown because they have pleasant memories about them, and it gives them a sense of place.
In a transient place like Florida, [...]

And Now, A Young Woman Riding A Bike

July 11, 2008 – 11:23 am

Against a wall of flowers, no less. The photo-reference I used must be from last winter, because you sure aren’t going to catch anybody riding a bike in long pants in spring or summer on the Gulf coast of Florida. I am not hugely organized as regards my photo references, which adds mystery to the [...]

Painting In Public At Interior Motives Gallery

June 27, 2008 – 10:49 am

Well, that was fun. Now I can get back to painting goofy stuff on paper. I think I’ll do some cartooning; heatstroke make me whimsical. Did I mention it’s bloody hot here in St Petersburg?

A Steamy Lake In The Tampa Bay Area of Florida

June 12, 2008 – 11:02 am

And how seasonally appropriate! Ok, it’s Crescent Lake, St Pete, which is about 3 blocks from my house. I have already admitted I never go anywhere. It’s too hot, and the bugs! Don’t get me started. I’m cranky when I sweat.

22×30. acrylic on paper, available at Interior Motives Gallery or from Seven North.

A Crescent Lake, St Petersburg, Painting…

June 11, 2008 – 11:25 am

Yeah, I don’t get out much, that’s why my BrightKite activity is essentially pointless, but my immobility does lead to an intense appreciation of my immediate surroundings. This painting was done for a Tampa patron. I like the sound of that: Patron. Uhmmm, yummy patron…
