Six Artists Six Prairies

I have been invited to join a group of six professional artists in a fabulous 18 month project. Our aim is to draw attention to 1. Florida's unique prairies and the need to preserve them; and 2. the importance of encouraging and supporting art and artists in the community.

During the next 18 months we will be traveling through six north Florida prairies, painting the varied aspects of the prairies from vistas to vignettes as the seasons change: Fish Prairie, Hopkins Prairie, Kanapaha Prairie, Ledwith Prairie, Paynes Prairie and Putnam Prairie.

Several exhibitions are planned so the public can enjoy the paintings created for the project. All the paintings will be for sale with a portion of the proceeds being donated to charities such as the Conservation Land Trust.

Become a follower of the Six Artists Six Prairies blog and read about the adventures of each artists over the next year and a half. www.sixartistssixprairies.blogspot.com

I am in Naples in the winter and am very concerned about the Everglades environment. Good for you all bringing your art to this cause.
This is a sparkling painting.
