If you love our tropical coastal scenery, birds and wildlife you will want to catch McArdle’s Art Show
Carol McArdle’s realism art captures the beauty of Florida’s tropical scenery and wildlife that we love. Carol McArdle is one of Florida’s best known professional nationally recognized painters of tropical landscapes, waterscapes, birds and wildlife and now McArdle’s work is represented by Rockhouse Gallery. To celebrate the public is invited to an exciting solo show of McArdle’s paintings.
Carol McArdle will be at Rockhouse Gallery to meet the guests March 11-13. She says, “I am looking forward to meeting some new art lovers at my first solo show at the beautiful Rockhouse Gallery and I will be bringing some new paintings to exhibit there for the first time.”
In her bold and colorful oil paintings, McArdle captures the beauty of the fast disappearing natural Florida. She researches her subjects of native Florida species and unaltered, natural landscapes in the same places many of us go to escape the modern world; National Parks, State Parks, Wildlife Refuges and other preserved areas.
She has captured the hearts of her collectors and viewers with her beautiful work of the old Florida that takes our breath away. Especially popular are her roseate spoonbill portraits, waterscapes with mangroves or sea grapes, landscapes and her latest subject, water turtles.
