Tampa Confederate Flag Antidote– Call to Artists

There is a pretty good argument to be made that in terms of numbers of deaths and long term social repercussions all over the globe, as well as the misery inflicted over many generations and hundreds of years on millions of people the peculiar institution over which the southern confederacy explicitly seceded was an even [...]

The Upgraded Booker Creek Park, St Petersburg, Florida

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 [...]

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

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, [...]

A Steamy Lake In The Tampa Bay Area of Florida

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.

A Crescent Lake, St Petersburg, Painting…

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…

Is Tampa Bay “Ohio With Palm Trees”?

Whereas I, with my snotty “San Francisco values” and general unsubstantiated-by-accomplishment-of-any-kind snobbery, would regard being “Ohio With Palm Trees” as a negative, those at Creative Tampa Bay are apparently Zen with it. There is something to be said of making a virtue of necessity, and I am working hard on it.
Example: Skill? Talent? Those qualities [...]
