The following gallery contains watercolors from my 2017 portfolio. All of my artwork is based on photos I have taken throughout South Florida. I use a variety of art software to enhance and manipulate each photo until I get the “look” I want.
Thank you for viewing my work.

Untitled Orchids #4
Old Friends
Art by Dennis Davis -- "Old Friends" (2017) -- Digital Watercolors, Photo-manipulation.
It has been said that South Florida is the seventh borough of New York. "Snow birds" from the North flock to Florida during the winter and return home by May. Many seniors retire and move to Florida for the casual lifestyle and affordable housing. These two old friends meet every morning for coffee.

South Florida, USA, has many parks and nature wildlife sanctuaries where you can find a large tree with lots of shade to get out of the hot Florida sun. Most have picnic tables and facilities where you can take the family for a great time.

The sub-tropical climate of Florida, USA, is perfect for the orchid, although orchids can be found all over the world. You see them everywhere in Florida, especially at "Green Markets" where organic fruits and vegetables can be purchased.
Boca Raton Condos

Boca Raton, Florida, USA, is for the shopper with unlimited funds. Stores and restaurants line the streets, with condos and palms providing shade from the intense Florida sunshine. South Florida is sub-tropical, and enjoys hot, humid days of summer. Did I mention it's a major target for hurricanes between June and December?

CityPlace is a major shopping district, located in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, USA. It has a large theater complex, shops, restaurants, and an outdoor stage where you can listen and watch entertainment while you have lunch or dinner. Very cool.
