 |
| Nestled in the quaint waterfront town of Palmetto, Florida..... |
 |
| ....is the historic home and totally cool studio of my long-time friend Sharon Kay Stouffer Derflinger. |
 |
| She is the creative force behind HUNTERS CROSSINGS ART. |
 |
| Magnificent antique doors welcome.... |
 |
| ...and inspiration surrounds you upon entering the rustic studio. |
 |
| (I could play with this rusty treasure all day) |
 |
| Outside is equally inspiring as you wander in the garden among Sharon's concrete and gourd creations. |
 |
| This massive dried sunflower atop large acorn gourd is A-MAZ-ING! |
 |
| Built in 1911, the beautifully restored house is on the historic home register and just a few blocks from the water. It was the home of the only florist in the area in the old days. |
 |
| Richly textured walls and vintage architectural accents create the perfect touch of interior drama. |
 |
| Up-lighting creates sillouette-type shadows from every angle. |
 |
| Of course Sharon's MAGNIFICENT signature art crosses take center stage. |
 |
| She is also a sculptor and painter of primitive art. So much talent! |
 |
| This fabulous collecton of face jugs also reside here. |
 |
Sharon shows and sells her creations and vintage findings at Renninger's in Mt. Dora, FL every 3rd weekend. Her art work is also available at WWW.ETSY.COM/SHOP/HUNTERSCROSSINGS |
Wow....I've always wanted to see Sharon's home! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove that house and I have been through Palmetto , FL. The last time I was there it was still "old Florida" which is what I loved about it- xo Diana
