My 2009 Art calendar is now available from Lulu publishing. This edition features 12 paintings of beautiful Florida landscapes. I made notes on a few pages describing the inspiration that led to their creation.See my store on Lulu Publishing preview of all 12 months. http://stores.lulu.com/danielambrose

Orange groves once populated much of central Florida, oranges likely outnumbering people. Today there are few groves; freezes and citrus canker destroying what strip malls leave. On highway 11 just twenty minutes west of where I live, a few small groves are hold outs. One of my simple pleasures is cruising down that road in spring with the truck windows open just smelling the orange blossoms.

Brakes smoking, we sped down the steep twisting roads to the village of Soufriere along the west coast of Saint Lucia Island. Dodging groups of smiling plaid skirted schoolgirls walking along the edge of the precipitous road we squealed around a bend, suddenly the roadside brush gave way revealing the soaring Pitons, dominating the village below. After a hike around the steaming sulphur

As an artist I walk the world with open eyes, my oil paints, and journal a little about the places I visit, whether I wander a 1000 feet or 1000 miles away from home. I like to know where I go. I recently visited Lincoln, Illinois and learned it is the only town named for Abraham Lincoln before he became President. Because, once a train needed water and Lincoln was a lawyer in the right
