 | Artist: Bill Turner "Why roads?" I'm often asked. When I first began showing these paintings, my first response was a little feeling of shock - "Roads? All my paintings have roads?" It's not a scheme or plan - that is, to paint paintings with roads. It's just that roads are a marvelous vehicle for taking one's imagination into a painting, especially one that evokes the sort of emotional qualities that I like for these paintings to have.

 | Artist: Eaton Studios, Inc. - Kathleen Eaton Kathleen Eaton is a Chicago area artist whose work is an interpretation of city and suburban environments. Her paintings reflect a fascination with architectural spaces and the unexpected solitude or human activities that occur within them. From this interest her work has developed to explore the relations between imagination and reality in an urban environment.
Her paintings are begun with an idea of a place, real or imaginary, then proceeded by a series of sketches to a full-sized drawing, and the final oil painting is done from this. The technique she uses involves building up areas of color through the application of many thin layers of transparent paint.

Artist: David Hunter David majored in zoology at the University of South Florida in Tampa, coming away with both a B.A. (1969) and M.A. (1973) in that subject area and illustrating his master’s thesis with pen-and-ink drawings. From the fall of 1973 until the summer of 1978 David taught science at the middle school level. During his fourth year of teaching David needed a mental diversion and turned to art, working in pen and ink since that was the last artistic medium he had worked with.
At the end of that fifth year of teaching David applied for and recieved a year’s leave of absence from teaching, being a full-time teacher on the last day of the school year and a full-time artist on the next day. For the past 26 years David has supported himself and his family through his artwork, having learned the printmaking techniques of etching and monotypes.

 | Artist: Jacquelyn Modesitt Schindehette Every corner of the world harbors exceptional places-destinations that inspire and exalt all who have the eyes to see their natural splendor. Jackie Schindehette has ventured far off the beaten track in order to record and preserve the images of the Florida landscape.
As you browse through the gallery of original paintings you will see areas of Florida that are not the typical scenes everyone expects. The beautiful beaches are certainly the best known venues, but the back country is the heart of the landscape that is seldom seen. Water birds, such as Cranes, Egrets and Ibis dot the marshes in search of sanctuary. Sprawling ancient oak trees filled with Spanish moss add majesty to the rolling hills of north Florida. Great cypress stands spring up all through the everglades.

 | Artist: Billy O Art Painting in plein air continually reminds me to react spontaneously to inspiration in life or risk losing the moment that's before me. The experience of painting outside, the snow, strong wind, cold, muggy heat, mosquitoes – they all remind me of life and how we must stay focused and keep pushing on.
As I think about masses, color, relationships, the harmony of the piece, value, strokes and textures, and combine them with the energy of the land and the environment around me, it transcends the quality of staying focused and persevering in life.
