The Smart Studio, Boca Grande announces a new exhibition, “Beautiful Beaches” to open January 28th and running until February 19th.
Artists Gail Cleveland and Wini Smart have a collection of paintings of different beachscapes from the west and east coast of Florida. Gail traveled as far as Key West and Wini painted new scenes from the east coast from Ft. Lauderdale to Palm Beach.
“Boca Grande is the most beautiful,” stated Wini Smart, “the beaches on the east coast have suffered severely from recent hurricanes and storms. They are narrow, sometimes almost to the road, and noticeably eroded. We all should appreciate what we have here”
The paintings are in oils, watercolor and acrylic. Some are minimal paintings such as the 4 by 5 ft acrylic, “Sea Oats, South End” with just a few sea oats for subject matter, others are more detailed with figures and beach umbrellas for interest such as the16x20 inch “Beach Chairs” and an 8×10 oil, “Low Dunes.” A gopher turtle has been captured in paint, in a 16×20 oil, “Hole for One.” The majority of the works have been inspired by scenes on Boca Grande.
