Part of my "Sarasota Strong" series, dedicated to the optimism, resilience, and beauty of our community in the face of hurricane season 2024. This one features the beautiful sailboats that call Sarasota Bay home. Little flicks of gold on the boats make them the star of the show. Hurricane Debby hit Sarasota unexpectedly in August 2024, 2 months later - Helene and Milton hit one week apart. Painted as the buckets of rain from Debby began to hit with wind that sounded like the windows of my art studio would blow out, and again working to the last second as Helene rolled in before I evacuated to the mainland for safety - Some of this collection I even evacuated with me with for safekeeping to Orlando during Milton. Our home & yard flooded 4-6 feet in both Helene and Milton. Luckily the main part of our home is on the 2nd story, for this exact reason. So our kitchen, the kids rooms, and my studio didn't flood. I didn’t know if I would have a studio to come back to at all, but here we are. My kids helped me to do the underpainting and abstract background on several from this series as well.
