<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found these two photographs in the book "Jacksonville's Architectural Heritage" about Kingsley Plantation and Ft. George Island. History buffs will like the written page from the book I included, there is an interesting legend about the creation of the Avenue and why it is incomplete...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am excited to be the featured artist and my project <i>The Wilderness of North Florida's Parks</i> at <a href="http://southlightgallery.com/" target="_blank">Southlight Gallery</a> for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/569156083220917/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular" target="_blank">March 4th Downtown Art Walk, themed "Shamrockin Downtown"</a>. If you haven't come in awhile, make a point to go. I will have the new painting and will show off <i>THE MAP</i> for the project I am working on. It is watercolor and pen with illustrations of area animals and historical figures, and of course the parks on it. I might not be completely done but will show it in progress.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those of you unfamiliar with my project, here is a description: The Wilderness of North Florida's Parks consists of completing a series of large scale watercolor paintings of our area's park system. These paintings, in print form will become part of a traveling exhibit. Sketchbook journal pages will highlight the features and history of each park as well as highlight the non profit groups that preserve and protect our land and water. The park paintings and Sketchbook journal pages about the parks and non profit groups will be published as a family friendly book. Educational engagement can occur through exposing children to these wilderness parks, the art that can come from it and the opportunity to create their own Sketchbook Journal. The traveling EXHIBIT, when shown around the area and elsewhere, along with the BOOK - will be useful tools to showcase to residents, students, visitors, and business investors, the wildness and beauty of the parks right here in our backyard. And inspire them to go there!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following up from One Spark: The three art jurors selected my project as one of the three they picked to pitch to them Shark Tank style on Sunday at Hemming Plaza - 5 minutes project presentation and 5 minutes of questions and answers. At stake was a $10,000 prize and a ticket to One Spark Berlin. Alas, my project didn't win. MOCA's Project Atrium/Shaun Thurston's mural won. The other project nominated by the jurors was a project to restore Norman Studios in Arlington. A studio back in the day when Jacksonville was Hollywood before there was a Hollywood.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The project received $395 in Crowdfund - 238 votes. Divide the total number of votes at the festival: 120,493 by the crowdfund amount $200,000 = $1.65 a vote. Last year it was $4 + a vote. My project received 4 fewer votes this year and less total money. $755 in Individual contributions this year ($624 last year). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So the GOOD NEWS is: One Spark 2013 sparked me to create a neat project around my art. One Spark 2014 sparked me to make a ton of progress on it. Funds raised - not so much. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now though, I have a mocked up book, more parks done, 8 more parks planned and a more tangible product to promote and raise funds to finish it and publish the book! And the project is being well received by people that learn about it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am working on a creative and dynamic project called <i><a href="http://www.beonespark.com/discover/creator_projects/437" target="_blank">The Wilderness of North Florida's Parks</a></i> 'sparked' by the upcoming crowdfunded festival ONE SPARK, April 17 - 21. Here is a description of the Project #437:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The Wilderness of North Florida's Parks</i> Project consists of completing a series of large watercolor paintings of our wild and beautiful park system, all within one hour of downtown Jacksonville. Five paintings of four parks are done, 15 - 20 more parks are on the proposed list to complete.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These paintings, in print form will become a traveling print exhibit. Sketchbook Journal pages about each park - highlighting their features and history will accompany each print. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The non profit groups that preserve and protect our land and water will each have Sketchbook Journal pages about their mission, their accomplishments, goals and how to join and help them. They are <b>St. Johns Riverkeeper</b>, <b>Timucuan Trail Parks Foundation</b>,<b> North Florida Land Trust</b> and <b>Greenscape</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A coffee table book will be published containing the park paintings and the Sketchbook Journal pages about the parks and the non profit groups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Educational engagement will occur by giving children and adults an opportunity to visit a wilderness park, learn about the art that can be created from it and make their own Sketchbook Journal pages through the use of template pages.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A geocaching element - interactive contest will be part of the exhibit and book to encourage people to GO TO OUR PARKS.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The traveling print exhibit, when shown around the area and elsewhere, along with the Book - will be useful tools to showcase to residents, students, visitors, and business investors, the wildness and beauty of the parks right here in our backyard. And inspire them to go there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In February, I participated in a two day event, "Appleton in Bloom" at the Appleton Museum of Art in Ocala, Fl. My former high school art teacher, Mary Moore is the art educator there. I worked on my tulip painting and another one while there and showed the progressive slide show of the tulip watercolor on my laptop. The beautiful museum reminded me of the Cummer Museum here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I switched back to oils recently and painted this painting: <a href="http://www.kathystark.com/#available-original-paintings/16" target="_blank">"Mexican Daisy Bouquet"</a> H 28" W 28" $1200. If it looks familiar it is because I painted it as one of my small blog paintings and decided to paint it larger. I'll have to say It looks much better in person than my photo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I repainted my studio this summer, Benjamin Moore's White Dove and I love how it brightens my petite space especially at night. Talley was happy to pose in all of the photos. I build my canvases outside on my patio and sometimes spill over into my dining room for projects and have occasionally commandeered a friend's garage to paint large abstract paintings but otherwise love my cozy studio with the tall ceiling and three windows.</span><br />

The cooperative gallery I am involved with moved to a new location, the former Push2 Gallery space on the second floor of the Dyal Upchurch Building at 6 E. Bay Street, the north foot of the Main Street Bridge, behind the Chamber of Commerce building. Here is a link to an interesting article in the <a href="http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/downtowntoday.php?dt_date=2011-09-02">Jacksonville's Financial News and Daily Record</a> about the move and the Off the Grid program that helps us afford the space. My art is in the background of the photo with our leader, Michael Dunlap.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Other than art walks, special events and openings the gallery's regular hours are Monday through Friday 11 am until 3 pm.

(Tuesday night is free admission too!)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZx-bhCr0D3JLGMmfyRALq2sMGQpyowTnEOJDK7W6fE_sHe5wCo5zLgUUkw9FzcTnqjQW3Jzu7D4pTGqFrRuyvGX9gXpVSNCuoldw5rtu-A9GhMF8WdR6xx_l-yqkVwVQh4nrS3wVAkxQ/s1600/DSC_0007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZx-bhCr0D3JLGMmfyRALq2sMGQpyowTnEOJDK7W6fE_sHe5wCo5zLgUUkw9FzcTnqjQW3Jzu7D4pTGqFrRuyvGX9gXpVSNCuoldw5rtu-A9GhMF8WdR6xx_l-yqkVwVQh4nrS3wVAkxQ/s400/DSC_0007.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550198003521839842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyrciwAMgbJkzQP_sytD3nfLjE045ULB38iUgD47BpfTUULK_pOAC9hTfGh5L4f_yUSS0rQGhItUcFzCdZEpR4i0jdFtCh-SbLE2va6LKvnWNZvWll-04B7w79OuFE9UbRCmWsOXYckH4/s1600/IMG_0340.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyrciwAMgbJkzQP_sytD3nfLjE045ULB38iUgD47BpfTUULK_pOAC9hTfGh5L4f_yUSS0rQGhItUcFzCdZEpR4i0jdFtCh-SbLE2va6LKvnWNZvWll-04B7w79OuFE9UbRCmWsOXYckH4/s400/IMG_0340.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550194740678372466" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_Tf9dgTs6vYd8du5gdAOjvJZTifB1n8miFWh4a63l3yOydVZVvxjZImWSE5_dAzVD1KYGzQtcFTwSj2w85RTwGCn216iqq2ZgzdVQS0c48-N5pH6BQ47O-hkFUSZFCcOz8xYgFeIZvY/s1600/IMG_0342.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_Tf9dgTs6vYd8du5gdAOjvJZTifB1n8miFWh4a63l3yOydVZVvxjZImWSE5_dAzVD1KYGzQtcFTwSj2w85RTwGCn216iqq2ZgzdVQS0c48-N5pH6BQ47O-hkFUSZFCcOz8xYgFeIZvY/s400/IMG_0342.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550194389378016994" /></a>St. Vincent's Foundation recently purchased 8 of my giclee prints for 4 special patient rooms for primary use by DePaul Society donors/patients. Here is a sampling of the results (Ryan of Gallery Framery was hired to frame them and I 'helped' him put them up. I learned all about security hangers!) Speaking of prints, in working with St. Vincent's I realized I now have 35 paintings scanned to be prints, about 10 landscapes, 11 tablescapes, 8 flowers in nature, 5 misc. subject matter. Two new ones are not on my print website yet but check it out: <a href="http://kathystarkprints.blogspot.com/">KATHY'S PRINT WEBSITE</a> Remember, I give people 30% off retail price when you order directly from me!
