Aloha Everyone!  These are the pictures from my tour with Steve Barton and Wil Cormier.  Here I am with pictured with Liz who bought the first ever collaboration with Steve Barton.  The Collaborations were a great hit!  We are  now planning future published originals as well as releasing other oils.

Here we are signing the second collaboration.  It is shown in Steve's signature wavy frame.  It too was sold to a wonderful family at the show!

Here I am pictured with Wil Cormier.  He painted the beautiful lady to match my painting called Light Of Gold.  A lot of people were drawn and fascinated by the collaboration!

Here is the first collector of the piece.  He and his wife fell in love with the painting and purchased it for their collection.

This couple bought a commission based on the first collaboration.  I started it on the spot and handed it to Steve where he worked on it and handed it back to me to finish.  This was the third collaboration in the series.

Here is the finished piece.  What a winner!

Here is the fourth collaboration titled "Island In The Sun" which is on display in the 623 Gallery Duval Street in Key West.

Here is the fifth and final collaboration we did called "Love Shack".  I love this title because of the b-52's popular song with the same title.

I flew in a day early to paint this fire portrait of Julie.  She posed for me in the viewing room and even helped me paint the portrait.

Nothing like getting great help!  Tough life my friends would say!

This is one of my youngest collectors.  He saved his money up to buy this painting and got a firewoman brushstroke as a gift with purchase.  I look forward to great things from this young man!

These collectors picked up another piece for their collection.  They got Island Love which shows well with their other piece.  They invited their friends to the show who in turn picked up three more paintings.

They got not 1, not 2 but 3 paintings at once!  What a way to start a collection.

These folks got Island Romance.  They are from England and are back in Sarasota to collect more art!

This collector got "From The Mountain To The Sea" which matched her shirt quite nicely.  We are attracted to color after all!

This collector got Peace at Night a popular painting for those who .like the solace and peace of the full moon.

This collector got the last fantasy woman painting in the gallery.  These paintings sell out every time I get them in.  He even got a brushstroke to match.  Thanks for encouraging my fantasy series!

These folks got a painting off of the easel which we titled "Embracing Paradise".  They got a Steve Barton and a painting of mine in the show.  Thanks folks!

This couple bought the ever popular Dockside Hope.  I cannot say enough about the  simplicity of this paintings beauty.

Its always nice to see folks come and visit.  James brought his wife whom I finally got to meet.  Ahhh the better half!

Steve, Debra and I take time out to eat.  All work and no play makes for starving artists!  We head out the next day to Key West where we held shows in separate galleries.

These folks picked up Light Of Gold as their first painting.  I believe they were on their honeymoon.  A perfect time to acquire art and mark the date with a gift to themselves.

Another first time buyer, these folks will get married soon and found this painting as a great start to their collection.

These folks flew down for the day and gave me great traveling tips to avoid the wear and tear of getting to the keys.  They took a private plane, strolled down the galleries, picked up an original and flew back up the same day.  Nice!!!!!

These folks picked up creating life.  I couldn't help but notice how happy they were.  They were giggling before, during and after the purchase.  Got to love that!

This gentleman bought this black sand painting for one of his places.  He was attracted to the exotic beauty of the black sand beach and power of the turquoise waves.

This family got the peace and security small size.  

This couple bought the Color Of Memories small size which packs a big punch.

Pam is a regular at the gallery who is sweet enough to visit whenever she can.  She has a place in the Keys as well as Chicago and Family in Costa Rica.  She fell in love with this painting.

She loves the surf board as well and thought it would go great in her daughters bar/restaurant in Costa Rica but was afraid that it would get stolen.  Don't blame her, I would want this board for myself as well.

Its nice when collectors visit.  I ran into Ms. Bowman in Key West. I recognized her when she said where we had met.  Nice to see hard working people let their hair down....  On the left is her family in Disney World and on the right is her with her friends...

These folks bought number 1 of my newest release "Home is Where The Heart Is" in the 12x24 size.  Look for it in a gallery near you!

Dave Commissioned this painting but wanted the reef of Dockside Dreams and Palm tree branches to frame the sides...

Thanks for supporting the arts.  Sorry if your pictures didn't make it, please send any if you have them so we can add you to web page.  Welcome to the family  and see you at the next tour!
