Now I have discovered that I actually have TWO art blogs. The other is http://www.naplesflartist.blogspot.com. Take a look!

After searching for my recent blogs I was surprised to learn that I actually have TWO art blogs. The other is www.marymorannaplesflartist.blogspot.com. When I can figure out how to combine these, I'll let you know!

"Urban Wilderness" is the painting based on my visit to Freedom Park. The 11" by 14" oil painting on canvas is framed and displayed at Dennison-Moran Gallery. 239-263-0590

Freedom Park, Naples

Freedom Park is a recently opened park right in the middle of town near the Naples Zoo, Coastland Center and Naples High. There are small lakes with walks, bridges and visiting birds. There is also a boardwalk trail leading through untouched land to the Gordon River on the east. This wild area is very much like Corkscrew Swamp. Here is a photograph I took early one morning with the sun lighting the Cypress trees and reflecting off small streams.
