Mack's Fish Camp

20x20 oil on cradled wood

This is a painting of a storied Fish Camp in the Everglades of Miami Florida. I have always admired their hand-painted sign, with the broken down airboat leaning up against it. And my boys love to go out fishing with them. This has become one of our favorite sights, when we pass this sign we know its about to be a great day

I paint in oils because they are natural earth materials. When possible I incorporate some of my own handmade paints into my pieces. I love how this makes a piece truly "of" the location we are painting.
