Naples National Art Show

One of the best outdoor art shows in Southwest Florida was held last weekend in Cambier Park. 


Christine Adele Moore painted a wonderful, attention-getting self portrait along with a full range of large, colorful and imaginative works.  She is originally from New Jersey and now lives in Bonita Springs.  Christine works in acrylics and often imbeds things like metal leaf in her paintings.


I have visited with (and photographed) Glory Spinuzzi at art shows countless times over the years.  Originally she specialized in superb tidal scenes, inspired in part by her birth on the island nation of Sri Lanka.  In the past couple of years Glory has begun expanding her ouvre, by adding more environments and wildlife.  This is Glory's favorite work at the show, which she did not have space yet to hang. 


Sondra Wompler is from Santa Fe.  I was taken by her colorful realistic scenes that incorporated imaginary elements like flamingos and elephants. 


In case you didn't notice, Arizona-based artist Jonah Ballard obsesses about the color pink.
