Dorothy is Back on the Web

March 11th, 2013
Now that the website is being updated you can see many new original & prints by Starbuck.
Dorothy has been painting and filling her canvases with the colors of her beloved North Florida.
A note from Dorothy after returning from Grayton Beach State Park .
http://www.floridastateparks.org/graytonbeach/
” I’ve nearly finished an 8 x 10 canvas of the dunes which I will donate to Grayton Park as a thank you, for all the years they have allow me to walk  any where I wanted taking pictures (even in the off limits sections).
Can’t wait to go back  !
Next I’ll be working on the large painting that I have started, but I need to go back on location to capture some angles  I missed. It will have to wait because  It is so dreary here today and we’ve had about 6″ of rain in the in the last 2 days. We really needed it but will be glad when it clears; I have so many places I want to photograph for reference.”

Packing For The Trip To Vero Beach

March 10th, 2009

This will be my loading up day and packing day for the trip to Vero Beach. I am leaving 03-11 or 03-12. I will go to the Garden Of Art Gallery to set up my display tent. Even with a fellow artist along to help me it will take about 2 ½ to 3 hours.

Today I am getting ready for the “Under The Oaks” art festival in Vero Beach, FL.

Deer Lake & Grayton Beach State Parks

February 26th, 2009

Today I went to Deer Lake State Park. It has a long boardwalk over the dunes and finally comes to the beautiful white beach at the gulf. It was very windy and cold. But the sun was shining and I think I got some good photos.
Went to Grayton Beach Park and stopped along the way to photograph one of our beautiful lakes that was ringed with windblown grasses and filled with lily pads. The tall pines as a back drop will one day make a lovely painting.

Canoeing The Chipola River

Canoeing the Chipola River was a delightful experience. The river has an aura of remoteness about it that appeals to me as an artist.
With my daughter Kit and granddaughter Summer along, we began our 8 mile trip about a mile from Florida Caverns State Park in Marianna. It took us about 4 ½ hours to of fairly leisurely paddling as we were going with the current.
The river is really beautiful, lined with Oaks, Magnolias, Cypress, and Dogwood to name a few of the trees. Plus all sorts of shrubs and bushes. Some of the trees were turning the colors of fall, which added a bit of excitement to the scenery. About halfway, we came upon some caves which were tempting us to explore, but we had no flashlight so we left that for another time. And I do hope to canoe this river again, maybe in the spring when the trees have budded out.
