The Cortez Painter

05/25/2026

My paintings hang at the Starfish in Cortez Florida.. A gentleman expressed his love of the place and commissioned a painting of it.
It’s a drawn out process
But I love to paint

This painting features the famous "netcamp" of Cortez Florida. After it completely disappeared during Hurricane Helene I wanted to capture on canvas the incoming storm and its last moments. A kind benefactor who's home was also flooded from this storm purchased it and it now hangs in their newly reconstucted dining room. Thanks guys!

This Painting of the view from the Starfish dock is drying in my studio. The other large Painting is a view of the Starfish from the parking lot which a customer has proudly hung in their living room.

A lady messaged me regarding this painting she saw. Said her father is in it. I almost didnt recognize it with that nice frame. Anywho she says she'd like a painting! How nice.

This is one for history. "Storm Rising". The beginning of Hurricane Milton. They are talking of restoring this famous landmark which was lost in the storm. It is 28xx36 oil pigments on linen. One of a kind, original painting. Let me know, I'll send it to you. 1200.
