Behind The Scenes
I recently completed this painting in SoHo Urban Artist Oils for my Uncle Doug’s Office. He use to have a beautiful view of The New River, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but has recently moved offices. He asked me to create a painting of the Stranahan House, which was the old Trading Post for the settlers and Seminoles.
This painting is on a 1.5″ Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Enjoy!

I am so very honored to be given the opportunity to painting a birthday gift for the “President North America” of Christian Dior Perfumes and Cosmetics – Terry Darland. What a wonderful woman! I was asked by the account executive of Christian Dior, Lourdes Vazquez, to recreate a childhood memory for Terry. I found out that one of her favorite memories growing up was visiting her grandmother down in Naples, Florida, and watching the sunset from the Naples Pier.
Since the pier is nice and long, I wanted to do a panoramic painting on a 12″ x 30′ gallery wrapped canvas.
I started out doing the sky and clouds, then on to the water, and lastly, the Naples Pier.
I drove up to Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota on 11.11.11 (great wish come true!) to present this gift to her at her luncheon.
I hope that you all enjoy these photos of the Naples Pier Painting at Sunset as much as I enjoyed creating it!
