Coastal Living for a Painter

We're Now Beachcombers

Well it's official, along with the sea turtles, migratory birds and fishes of the sea we are now coastal residents. Can't wait to explore more of the Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra Beach and Saint Augustine areas of Florida.

I look forward to painting impressions of this area and becoming actively involved in the many art organizations and finding a gallery in the area for my paintings.

I've been a member of the First Coast Pastel Society, a great group of artists actively promoting the pastel medium in the area.
And having recently joined the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach and I look forward to taking in some studio time there. 
What a beautiful venue for exhibits as well as spacious area for workshops.

So Jacksonville friends fill me in. What are some of your favorite restaurants, galleries and shops in the area that are not to be missed. I'd love to hear your suggestions.
