History of a Painting - "The Coconut Tree",

Florida Keys - Islamorada

Acryic Painting by Larry Johnston©

Islamorada - "a village of the Islands" is located on the islands of Tea Table Key, which is located in the Florida Keys. While exhibiting in an Arts & Crafts Festival there, I was looking up at the coconuts hanging at the top of the tree. While laying on my back I took my camera and shot up at the tree. The following year I returned with the painting and prints of the painting, to display and sell at the festival. Returning to the Florida Keys for several years, I exhibited at different locations.
