Breathtaking Pieces by a Local Satellite Beach Artist

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with M & M Realty of Brevard Inc. BK629999

Recently, I worked with a wonderful seller that has been painting for over 60 years.  He spends his days and nights painting.  His house was filled with his incredible artwork.  He has some of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen.  Up until the recent estate sale that was conducted on his house, as he was liquidating his parents furnishings. he had never sold a single one of his paintings.  People had always asked over the years if they could buy a piece or two from him, but he always declined their offers. 

In the estate sale he sold nearly 20 of his beautiful paintings, literally within a week. People answered internet ads and came from different areas to buy his gorgeous art. He still has pieces that are available for sale.

This is just one of his beautiful paintings he had hanging in his home.

Painting is one of those talents that I think must be divinely bestowed--one either has it or they don't. You can't learn stuff like this. What a fabulous piece. :)

Sandy, As a child I didn't appreciate art and my dad was a cartoonist, art all around me. Now I'm in awe of the concentration involved...

It's a shame that so many people do not enjoy what this person did. In kindergarten we are all great artists, adnd art is a wonderful thing to have in our lives.


I can understand his not wanting to sell his paintings before this. I do some art myself and it is almost all still here with me in my home. It's an artistic activity, not a commercial one.

Sandy, that is amazing that he never sold any of his paintings over a 60 year period! He could be very well off! That is a really nice beach scene!

Gary, Absolutely gorgeous work.  Every piece was exquisite.

Tim,  Yes, there is a story behind every piece.  He took some time and told me a couple of the stories.  So touching.

Candice, I have to agree with you. Some people are truly born with this gift.

Hi Paul, Isn't it funny, how as we grow older, so very many things change?

Hi Bob, That's what he told me.  He did it for his own pleasure and enjoyment and not for the money.

Hi Lou, His paintings did set a great tone.

Hi Miss Mary,  His paintings were breathtaking.

Hi TO, Isn't it beautiful?  This man had an incredible eye.

Caren,  I can't believe he didn't sell any of them up until now, also.  So many gorgeous paintings! He said he didn't paint them for the money.
