Island Boat Yard
About this artwork
City Island is Sarasota's largest boat storage location, explains Fernando. These old vessels are waiting for the day when they can sail the waters of the Gulf of Mexico once again. 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.
