The City Beautiful: Eola Park


Eola Park Fountain in Orlando
6" x 6" watercolor on paper
with white mat,  sized 12 x 9

I'm still painting with my non-dominate hand and couldn't resist this landmark after a recent visit to Orlando, FL.  Eola Park has been a centerpiece of downtown since it was built at the turn of the century.  The gorgeous fountain has been a backdrop to many changes in the city and could tell wonderful stories if only it could talk!  I have memories of my Dad taking my sister and I there after church on Sunday just to enjoy the beauty and show off our "sunday dresses."  


These original left-handed jewels are a limited edition (til my shoulder is back in working order) and are getting snapped up at an affordable $30 plus shipping.  They make wonderful gifts for someone who has a special association with the subject....or only a small place left on their wall.  Either way, this will serve as a great memory jog of a landmark that has endured the ages....isn't it comforting to know that some things never change?!
