Mount Dora, Florida
After multiple trips to the Mount Dora area to visit relatives, I just knew that eventually I would have to make a concerted effort to express the inspirations I felt. The Mount Dora Fine 2023 Arts Festival provided just the deadline I needed to take action!
The following series of watercolor and large canvas paintings express my feelings towards this idyllic and romantic town in central Florida.
