Such places still exist int he Suwanee River country and elsewhere. Well kept secrets away from the tourist trade.

Yes, there are places in Florida still like that to one degree or another. You just have to go look for them.

More like what was.
Β Maybe a little of both past and present.
I don't know if anyone still uses old fashioned water pumps or outhouses anymore and certainly not antique wooden wheelbarrows.
The house is still current and you still see old decaying cars and tire swings on peoples property here and there.

I've lived in FL before... back roads FL to a tee. LOVE the fan plants in the front, they are spot on.

This is no doubt one of the best painting I've ever seen. Looks like paradise to me. It makes you want to be there. Keep up the wonderful job my friend!

Very nice! I especially like the way you rendered that typical airy Southern light, mostly.

Thank you. The light of Florida is a very white light, especially in the summer.

This really is quite extraordinary, and I especially appreciate that it is traditional art.
I look forward to strolling through your Gallery, and I will certainly be watching your page....Ric C.
