"Revealing The Soul - Painting From The Inside Out" When I moved to North Central Florida in 1997, I never imagined how much I would fall in love with the landscape here. I began painting it almost immediately. I have good horses, so I am fortunate enough that I can go into areas that most people cannot reach, especially in summer when the water levels are high. Riding through swamps that four wheel ATV's cannot navigate, what I have seen is so stunning it forces you to think about Florida's past and future while you are in its midst. I take pictures from the saddle and work in my studio to bring out the real expressionism in the Florida landscape. Some of my scenes are also taken on trips with my motorcycle to Cedar Key and Ozello Keys, as well as other familiar vistas throughout the state. There is an underlying warmth and mystery in the landscape of Florida. If we don't clean up the litter and debris from dumping, as well as stopping it altogether, and we allow the bulldozer to ravage the state for development, we will watch this all disappear in our lifetime. More of the state needs to be protected and it needs to be done now before it is too late. I have painted many styles and am influenced by many artists throughout the history of modern art as well as the ancient cultures that have come before us. As of lately, I cannot think of anything I want to paint more than the soul of the Florida landscape. If I can convey this phenomenon to others, then my life will have had meaning. - Gary Borse
