Hidden Treasures of Fort Pierce

I thought I would show whats next door to the Treasure Coast Art Association. The first photo shows the outside of famous artist Don Rhodes studio and art boutique, the second has the inside where you can replenish your art supplies without having to drive to Vero or Stuart. The third is Mr. Rhodes' gallery which is filled with some of his wonderful paintings.

Tuesday paintouts from the Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast

Hi Everybody!

This tuesday, September 25 and next October 2, we will paint at White City Park which is south of Ft. Pierce. From US1 you take CR712 or Midway Road. Go West on Midway Road till you get to the park on your left. Going west the entrance is just after you go over the bridge on left ... Its a lovely little park, with a windy road that goes to the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. I try to get there around 9:30 and stay till noon or later. I drive a red Jeep Cherokee so you can look for that and find me.

If you don't paint and just want to see pretty parks and artists painting you are welcome of course! Anyone who is new and would like to paint with us welcome!

I am looking forward to painting with you all again! Below is my painting from tuesday. 8 x 10 oil.

Happy Painting! Lori

Royal Poinciana painting by by Elonse Longstreet

I don't think the artist had a title to this one and I am not sure I have her name spelled right, it wasn't too clear on her card. I like the painting a lot.
