Today’s Mount Dora
2011, 24" X 30", Oil on Gessoed Masonite, Catalogue# OMDR9900
U.S. HIGHWAY 441 RAILROAD OVERPASS
There are three railroad bridges in Mount Dora. The one depicted in this painting is the only one that still supports regular traffic. The other two, the Chautauqua Bridge seen in the painting immediately above this one and the Tremain Street Bridge seen in the Mount Dora Watercolors are used minimally or not at all. The painting, in common with the City Limit Sign watercolor, also illustrates the hilled landscape that characterizes central Florida's lake district. Mount Dora is about 160 feet above sea level.

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.
