MY HOUSE IS FILLED WITH ARTISTIC MOMENTS

                                    MY ARTISTIC MOMENTS ARE INSPIRED BY ART SHOWS THAT I ATTEND OR ART CLASSES THAT I JOIN.  AS A RESULT IN THE LAST TEN YEARS OF RETIREMENT I HAVE DONE MANY PIECES OF ART.  THE WALLS OF MY HOUSE INSIDE AND OUT ARE FILLED WITH ARTISTIC MOMENTS.  OUTSIDE I HAVE 5 PIECESOF PALM BARK PAINTED WITH FLOWERS SUCH AS HIBISCUS IN PINK,PURPLE AND RED.  I BOUGHT MY INSPIRATION FOR $25 IN SATELLITE BEACH FROM A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST THOMAS FISHER.  IT SAYS ALOHA DOWN THE SPINE OF THE PALM BAR IN TURQUOISE PAINT.
                                      I took Fisher's idea and painted LA BAMBA,FLORIDA,and LA CITA on the spines of three of the palm barks I found thrown out on the side of the road on yard trash day.  Another palm bark is tall and narrow and at least ten feet tall.  That's a lot of hibiscus flowers to paint in yellow,red,pink and purple. It adds a colorful KEY WEST  motif to my bland white townhouse on the LA CITA GOLF COURSE. in FLORIDA.  IT'S VERY SUBVERSIVE IN A CONSERVATIVE COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY WHERE THE BOARD MUST APPROVE ALL HOME IMPROVEMENTS AND TREE PLANTINGS.
                                     INSIDE THE HOUSE THE WALLS ARE GRACED (OR DAMNED AS MY HUSBAND FERDINAND THE BULL WHO HATES BRIGHT COLORS SEES IT) WUTH ORANGE SUNSET SCENES PLUS A FEW VAN GOGH SUNFLOWER COPIES. MY PAINTINGS ADD A SPLASH OF COLOR TO THE BEIGE WALLS AND CATHEDRAL CEILINGS.  ALONG THE STAIRCASE TO THE YANKEE BEDROOM SUITE UPSTAIRS(MY HUSBAND HAS A GIGANTIC POSTER OF DON MATTINGLY HITTIING AT YANKEE STADIUM, A YANKEE TEAM OF THE CENTURY BANNER AND THE SUBWAY STOP OUTSIDE OF YANKEE STADIUM AT SUNSET JUST BEFORE A NIGHT GAME COVERING ONE ENTIRE BEDROOM WALL) I HAVE POSTERS FROM MANY OF THE SPACE COAST ART SHOWS IN COCOA BEACH THROUGH THE YEARS PLUS A FEW MONETS,VAN GOGHS AND RENOIRS POSTERS THAT I BOUGHT. 
                                       TITUSVILLE HAS A NEW YORK BORN MURALIST AL RAO.  HIS FLORIDA NATURE SCENES ARE PAINTED ON THE WALLS OF THE SUNRISE BAKERY DOWNTOWN AND ALL OVER THE JUNGLE WORLD ALLIGATOR SHOW AND MIDWAY AIRBOAT RIDES BUILDINGS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.  I HAVE THREE OF RAO'S BRIGHT VIBRANT PAINTINGS OF PALM TREES AND SWAMPS ON MY TOWNHOUSE WALLS.

                                        MY TOWNHOUSE IS BIG AND BLAND.  IT'S LIKE AN ART GALLERY THAT IS ALWAYS CLOSED.  SHOWINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.  THE ART (AND RED,WHITE AND BLUE YANKEE BANNERS) BRIGHTENS UP A DULL PLACE LIKE THE SUNSHINE OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA GIVES LIFE TO THE USA.
