Lady Ann 1
About this artwork
The trawler Lady Ann moored at Cortez Marina in Bradenton, Florida. Fernando explains she is back home from a trip to the Gulf of Mexico where she nets for bait fish for other vessels to use in their daily work. Seabirds watch over the scene from the roof of the dock, calm rippling water in the foreground.Part of Fernando's signature series of nautical scenes capturing the watercraft, wildlife and landscape of his native Florida. He regularly travels, making sketches, taking notes and shooting photographs to later reference in his studio. The result is detailed, intimate paintings that radiate the stunning light and tropical breezes of the Sunshine State.
