Description:

Gibbs, Donald Archibald (B - 1937). Oil on canvas- signed lower right. This painting invites you on an adventure deep into Trapper Nelsons inside Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Jupiter, Fl where the weathered bait shop stands resilient against the elements. Two rowboats are tied up to the dock, ready for exploration. White herons, drawn to the scene, add a touch of grace to the rugged landscape. The painting captures the spirit of adventure and the allure of the wild, urging viewers to embark on their own journey through this mysterious and enchanting haven. Canvas measures 36x48 framed to overall size of 42x54. Gibbs started to paint when he came back to West Palm Beach from the Vietnam War where he lost both his legs and moved in with his mother. Frustrated not being able to gain work his mother purchased some art supplies. Gibbs started by painting the backyard and other Florida Landscapes. Without having a venue to sell his works he learned of the Florida Highwaymen selling their paintings by the West Palm Beach Courthouse, The West Palm Beach Train Station and the West Palm Beach Post Office, so he started to do the same. The tourists would buy everything that he had. He later moved to a tiny 10’x20’ shop in Lake Worth and Military Trail where the tourist would line up at the door to buy his works, it was so small filled with works he could hardly get a chair around all the works to paint more. Condition: Very Fine
