So here is "Le Gang" - am actually having a lot of fun with them, its all very "Under the Tuscan Sun" although given the lack of cooking appliances, am not rustling up sumptuous Italian lunches for everyone - still, there's always Jack in zee Box......

You can't love Florida and not be endeared to Highwaymen Art.  They captured the essence of this beautiful place and immortalized it in their paintings.  I had been drawn to their works and have admired their paintings for decades...
 
 
The story of how I began to paint is quite romantic - Shortly before turning 50 I was in my back yard and looked up at the night sky.  Seeing the first star, I silently asked for this wish: "To know myself better"......
 
I never dreamed that painting would fulfill that request.   Within a week with lots of struggle and joy I completed this first sad but sweet little painting......
