Title or Location: Everglades Grace

The Everglades immediately came to mind. Then I thought, "Whatever happen to the flamingos?" A simple Google search gave me the answer. They were hunted for their feathers to near extinction in the wild. In 2023 Hurrican Idalia blew them of course and back into Florida. According to the Audubon Society we now ha

Title or Location: Bridge Beneath The Falls
In my younger days I spent 2 combat tours in Vietam. In 1966 I was an Artillery 1st Lieutenant with an additional duty as an Aerial Observer Fwd Air Controller. We flew the DMZ and into N Vietnam. My 2nd tour came in 1971. By then I was a Captain Helicopter pilot. The horrors of war did not minimize the natural beauty of the country side. The mountains, jungles, rice paddies and waterfalls were living travel posters. The people went about their lives as they have done for hundreds of years.

When I was looking for a condo this view was the deciding factor for my purchase. I do all my paintings on my balcony, so why not paint the view. It was great painting a subject that was live, without having to peer down at a photo on a cell phone. The view itself starts from Miami Beach working North along the coast through Surfside, Bal Harbor, Haulover Park terminating in Sunny Isles Beach. Looking straight out, the distant green area is Oleta River State Park and FIU North Campus. The lo
