Coast 2 Coast Vacation Rentals would like to bring to your attention a free event in Naples Florida that features a fantastic local wildlife artist, Kathy Spalding. If your vacation rental is in Naples, you will only be minutes away from this extraordinary exhibit. Of course, if your vacation rental is on Sanibel Island, Marco Island, Captiva Island or in Fort Myers, it will be worth the short drive into Naples to see this exhibit. We encourage you to explore the rest of Naples on your daytrip as well. There is a nice video on this blog in the Vacation Rentals Area Information under the catagory of Southern Fl Gulf Coast that has a great description of shopping in downtown Naples.

Naples artist Kathy Spalding creates monumental bronze sculptures, paintings and prints featuring Florida’s diverse and abundant wildlife. This exhibition features several of her life-sized bronze animal sculptures as well as a 120-foot-long delicately rendered watercolor painting entitled Rookery Bay Continuum, which is a landscape cross-section beginning in the Gulf of Mexico and moving uninterrupted across bays, estuaries and mangroves. The painting then enters the Everglades and moves across the lowlands before coming to its completion in the high pine flat woods. Visitors are invited to move in close and enjoy the intricate details of Spalding’s elusive and wild creatures.
