Tavaras is located in central Florida and they hold an annual boat show there every year. I did this painting for our PBS television series and Sarah did a fun interview with the organizers and got to ride in an amphicar (a car/boat combination) which made an interesting travelogue to our show. The painting was done just about sunset and I left out much of the other activity that was going on at the time around the subject simply to keep it simple and make a stronger statement.
