Original Oil Painting Papayas for a Key West Breakfast by Phyllis O'Shields

Oil on Canvas 11 x 14

While in the Keys our breakfast always starts with fresh Papayas on the lanai. Something about the colour of this fruit just starts the day with a smile. Everywhere you walk you will see these papaya trees along the way. Papayas and Mangos are a staple of our daily diets there. It's all about the colour and the taste !

Seascape Sanibel Island Lighthouse- Painting in process by Phyllis O'Shields

                                                     

Oil Painting on Canvas 24 x 36

This was painted on Sanibel Island, Florida.  I have painted the Sanibel Light House many times with changing weather conditions and each time new things are discovered there. This painting is being created from very early morning light. The atmosphere is very light in pastel shades reflecting the early clear morning light there. The sand is very white and the water crystal clear. A very tranquil place to relax. One of my favorite place to collect shells.  The  fragile environment on Sanibel and Captiva Islands are of continuing concern.

St. Patrick's Day 2010

Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

Florida Everglades Evening Solice Oil Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

Florida Everglades Evening Solice

24 x 36  Original Oil on Canvas -

Gallery Wrapped Canvas painted around edges

Evening approaching in the Everglades is one of the most peaceful times of the day. Birds rush about catching the last rays of sun or their last evening meal.

The Everglades sky changes colours constantly as the light filters through the last clouds left over for the day after the daily afternoon rain. Early morning or late afternoon are my favorite times to paint in the Everglades. This oil painting required many layers of glazes to achieve the glowing tones of colour present. I love painting the Everglades and all Marsh Eco Systems with wide open vistas, there is a feeling that you can see forever.
These fragile systems are critical to preserve in their natural state for all wildlife.

Oil Painting "Oh My" Parrothead Wakes up in Margaritaville, Duval Street, Key West by P O'Shields

"Oh My, Oh My" Parrothead Wakes up in Margaritaville, Duval Street, Key West

11 x 14  on Canvas

Original Oil on Canvas  (First in a Series)

Status: Available for signed limited edition glicee

Painting inspired by to long a night at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville in Key West.  "Parrothead" is a nickname for myself and all the other  fans of Jimmy Buffet. The Jimmy Buffet music has touched the lives of millions around the world, spanning generations and genres.

Our general theme is relaxation even while working... In 2009 there were 273 chapters of Parrothead Clubs in the United States. (with $19 Million raised to support charitable organizations)
Parrotheads in Paradise, Inc (not for profit corporation)  is a network of Parrothead International Clubs working as a humanitarian network sharing information for mutual benefit.  Activities carried out are  charitable, educational, and promote the general welfare of the community. (while providing a variety of social activities for people who are interested in Jimmy Buffet and the tropical lifestyle he personifies.
 

Margaritaville represents true escapism - a state of mind.  Life is never a well conceived voyage but rather a wonderful voyage that we make up as we go along. Spending large amounts of time in Key West helps me to keep the  Margaritaville spirit  alive in my heart no matter where I  happen to be painting.   Beach music is a wonderful way of maintaining a Margaritaville state of mind.
