This park bench has become my wife's and my favorite place to enjoy 3:00 afternoon coffee when visiting our daughter in Tampa, FL. The park sits along a bike path that curves around a small harbor ending at this very active and passionate sailing yacht club. Besides sailors, this special place welcomes seabirds and water life of all kinds. It is not unusual to sit here and watch a dolphin or two swim by as pelicans dive for fish between the vast array of sailboats both large and small. As if that weren't enough, small aircraft slide in and out of the Peter O. Knight Airport whose runway ends a couple hundred yards behind your back.
"Menemsha ~ 251" in ASMA's West Regional Exhibition Oxnard, CA Sept 2019
OPENING RECEPTION, SEPT 14, 2019
Amy and I in front of the Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard CA where "Menemsha 251" hung for the second half of 2019 as part of ASMA's West Regional Expo. In its own right, this museum has a vast and interesting collection of Maritime history as well as an amazing collection of rare and valuable marine art. I was honored to hang in the same halls as John Stobart and a first class collection of the best in the world of marine art, both past and present.
"MENEMSHA ~ 251"
September 14 - December 30, 2019 - Juried ASMA exhibit of works by 50 ASMA artists at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard CA.

"Menemsha ~ 251" Chosen for ASMA's 18TH National Exhibition Two Year Museum Tour 2020-22
"MENEMSHA 251"
One of my personal favorites, this painting usually hangs in my living room. After being chosen for the West Regional in 2019, it was chosen to represent the best of ASMA in their prestigious National Exhibition! Following the West Regional, it immediately began a 2 year tour of 4 Maritime museums around the country with 100 other works by ASMA artists. This was my third entry chosen for this national event.
