An Afternoon at Straub Park
On Christmas Eve 1909, William Straub, then editor of the St. Petersburg Times, announced what he described as “the best Christmas present St. Petersburg ever received”–the city’s purchase of land for Waterfront Park, property that would be dedicated as public parkland in December 1910.
To help commemorate this milestone anniversary, the original oil painting, An Afternoon at Straub Park was especially created by Saint Petersburg Artist Carrie Jadus. This delicate image captures a lovely vista of Straub Park that is now available as a commemorative poster and also as 5×7 Note cards. These beautiful posters and cards make great special gifts and best of all your purchase will help fund the 2010 Centennial Celebration events that will be free to the public.
Waterfront Centennial Merchandise and Information regarding events is available online at:
Also visit our booth this Saturday at the Saturday Morning Market!!!
Please join us for Discover History in the Parks on Thursday, December 31, 2009, at St. Petersburg’s annual First Night Festivities!

New Work By Dorothy Starbuck

Dorothy Starbuck was born and raised in Miami, Florida where she developed a love and passion for painting the natural splendor of her beloved tropical state. She has been most influenced by artist and instructor Dave Herbert, and historical artist, Graham Ingles.

Determination, continuous study, imagination, and a desire to excel are what enable Dorothy to paint as she does. Her paintings mirror the beauty, color, and tranquility in the hundreds of tropical landscapes unique to Florida.

Her works of art display an exceptional talent in painting and preserving the images of Florida’s diverse and dwindling, unique, natural features. These range from Atlantic and Gulf beaches and sand dunes, to lakes, rivers, springs, marshlands, swamps, hammocks, mangroves, forests, and pastures.

Dorothy works diligently to ensure all elements painted –sky, land, palms, birds, and botanicals-are accurately portrayed. Colors and textures are precise and vivid.

Her representational style conveys the calmness and serenity she feels while sketching or taking photographs in the field. Her powers of direct observation, pursuit of excellence, and ability to capture the nuances of color, light, and shadow give her oil paintings an authentic feel.

Oil painter Richard Schmid, with his marvelous capture of mood and light, is an example of an artist who inspires Dorothy. His work moves her to reach beyond herself and paint the very best for corporate and private patrons who collect her paintings. Dorothy’s paintings have been featured in the Florida State Capital in Tallahassee, at the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C. in the permanent collection of the U.S. Air Force and in various Florida art museums.

The Point Washington State Forest and the Choctawhatchee bayou surround Dorothy as she paints and teaches in her studio. She lives in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, with her husband Bob. They have three daughters.
