Sunshine State of Mind: A Nostalgic Collage of Old Florida
"Sunshine State of Mind" is a vibrant mixed media painting inspired by the artist's love for vintage Florida postcards. This original piece blends vintage postcards, old magazine ads, acrylic paint, old stamps, and handwritten letters to create a nostalgic tapestry. The postcards depict iconic Florida scenes—palm trees, cyclists, blue skies, orange crates, and flamingos—capturing the idyllic charm of old Florida.
Layered with retro ads and personal touches like faded stamps and letters, the collage evokes heartfelt memories and a sense of history. Acrylic paint unifies the elements, adding warmth and dynamic energy. This artwork is a heartfelt tribute to the Sunshine State, inviting viewers to reminisce about the golden days of Florida through the artist's youthful memories.
