Many things capture my eyes but few capture my heart Helen Tilston - Fox TV April 2010 This farmhouse built right on Indian Rocks Beach is a replica of the owners farm house in a northern state. It has been lovingly built and imparts the feeling of security. My dear friend Penny commissioned me to paint this symbol of stability and love. It graces her home at "the pond" in Massachusetts.

Another beautiful day here at Indian Rocks Beach. Following a swim in the pristine clear cerulian blue ocean, we changed to our street clothing and set out to seek a subject for our painting. Helen, Mary Rose and Violetta tow their french easels along Gulf Blvd. Violetta gasps as she finds her subject. It is a Tapas Restaurant and Bar which has been lovingly restored and freshened up, flowers cascade from whitewashed fences and the red umbrellas signal us to hurry up and have lunch. In no time the smell of delicious seafood wafts through the air and it is lunch time Do you like this painting Violetta has created?
