Dear Friends,

      It is people like you that have afforded me the great privilege of being a professional artist. For over 30 years this career has brought tremendous joy to my soul, income to our family, as well as, great enjoyment to others. It is again, that I thank you who have supported me by collecting my work.
     During this artistic career, I've created over 300 original paintings. Most of them are in corporate or private collections. However, at our gallery, we have in our possession, 50 original paintings and about 20 "in the works" paintings, both small and large. For the past year, I have been exclusively painting for two private collectors.
     As I press toward the goal of completing a MFA and developing the Fine Art Department at the Baptist College of Florida, additional paintings for this Florida Collection will become less and less. My genre will be changing to: Biblical narrative, and national to international themes.  This month, I began teaching at our new facility in Graceville, and began scheduling workshops for the spring.     
     If you are interested in collecting an original oil painting from the Florida Collection, this would be the best time to do so. Please look at list below
     If necessary, as a way of securing a piece of work, we have made available monthly installments and accept all major credit cards.  If you are interested in collecting more than one piece of art, special pricing and terms can be discussed.

Thank you for your continual support, Keith and Linda

This blog is for the purpose of developing a greater value for the "spiritual perspective" as it relates to realistic art. In the words of A.W. Tozier, "We apprehend the physical world by exercising the faculties given us for that purpose, and we possess spiritual faculties by means of which we can know God and the spiritual world". Realistic art is an illusion from one dimension to another; this blog is about experiencing the reality of the unseen God, the Ultimate Reality. Please join this blog or forward it to your friends.

A Case For Collecting Florida Paintings 

by: Jim Fitch

As seen in Antiques & Art Around Florida, Winter/Spring 2006

This is the first in a series of  

articles written to present fine art as a proven investment vehicle and valuable part of any estate, large or small.

The title is obviously a play on words. Most of us are familiar with the term "Old Masters", a reference to artists of renown, long dead, who have left a priceless legacy.

Priceless both historically and financially. Have you tried to buy a Rembrandt, Van Gogh, or even a Martin Johnson Heade painting lately?
