I think it was the year of 1995, I was invited to join a camping group called the Southeastern Great Outdoors out of Miami Florida,

we canoed and camped out along the banks of the Peace river,

that was the day I found the Real Florida , I started painting scenes of  Florida from that day even onto this day forward,

On this page you will find my earliest oil paintings,

some I still have and some I am recreating so I can go back in time to the days that changed my life, The First paintings from1996 thru 1998
