“Tampa”
Acrylic on Canvas – November 2017

This painting was created after observing the city of Tampa from a distance across the water. The name felt right, and after finding out the meaning of its name I had to call it by this title. Though there is some speculation to the origin of the word, one possibility is for the use of Tampa is that of the local Calusa Native American village referring to “sticks of fire” or lightning. This seems kind of appropriate for this painting as it had been an exceptionally hot November.
