THE CHICKEN POOP FACTORY
Originally a citrus processing plant, more recently a factory that converts chicken droppings into an organic fertilizer. The buildings are in an advanced state of decrepitude, rusty and forlorn, except for a few minutes on clear mornings when the rising sun endows them with a golden glow. The surrounding neighborhoods are not impressed by the odiferous emanations the process involves. Mount Dora industry is diverse. These buildings are neighbors to a bird perch factory and a golf cart customizer.

BOAT BUILDER
2010, 24" X 36", Oil on Gessoed Plywood, Catalogue# OCS72500
Most modern boats are constructed from synthetic materials such as fiberglass. In the 1940's and 1950's, most were made of wood. The builder depicted here has created a small flat bottomed skiff which he started to paint before finding an errant screw that needed tightening. When he finishes painting the shell, he will install the seats and a small Briggs and Stratton motor.
