ARTISTS PRESENT

This group show features three talented painters documenting the rapidly disappearing Florida landscape: renowned realists Kent Sullivan and Keith Martin Johns and impressionist Hope Reis.

The work of the two realists are stunning interpretations of Florida landscapes from sunrise to sunset; several are oversize canvases appropriate for larger homes. The wonderfully soft impressionist landscapes of Hope Reis evoke the mood and spirit of our ancient Everglades.

This show will feature some of the most superb miniature art being created today.

The Miniature Art Society of Florida's 33rd Annual Show was held at Tampa Bay's Gulf Coast Museum of Art this past January. It attracted hundreds of entries submitted from 34 US states and eleven other countries. Competition was intense. On display were dozens of rows of tiny works of art that sparkled like exquisite gems, each a delicate, finely crafted treasure, each no bigger than the palm of a hand.

Sometimes using magnifying glasses to examine minute brush strokes, the judges singled out about 60 of the most extraordinary works deserving of special merit and awards. Our show will feature the latest work of those award winners. Don't miss it! Watch this space for the opening date and time.
