Me, my mom and sister set up outside The Creative Native

Gallery in East Tampa. Brandon’s Center Place put on

an art walkbetween some East Tampa. We

were the show. We set up outside to paint while the main

show was inside with The Creative Native Gallery’s many

artists.This slide show is pics of the

outside of the gallery, my mom/sister/me and inside of the

gallery.

Check out the dreads in the picture—nice right! That’s my painting style. Standing up.

Outside. Sometimes holding the wood like a violin. This painting

is a sign of my signs.

I rather enjoy the irony. RhondaK, Native Florida Folk Artist

I started painting the sign of signs a few months ago. I

use a lot of finger painting. I do tall signs about

inspirational signs, beer, island time, funny drinking signs, memory lane, fishing

signs and more.

My biggest one is at Star Fish Company with 14

signs. I get asked to re-paint that 3’x5’ sign, but it is really

honestly one of a kind.

My Mom Painting.http://www.shirleysart.com

She began painting with me as dad got ill. When he died, she

joined me doing shows.

She likes meeting all the people. Every week she picks up something new to paint and do. She likes trying things out.

This is a strawberry. She grew up mostly in Plant City—Home of the Strawberry Festival. She used to pick strawberries with

her family to make their family’s money to survive. As a kid, she didn’t have electricity or an ice box. She had 4 brothers and

sisters. A very different kind of life growing up on strawberries.

Let me take you inside the Creative Native

Gallery.This is from the front

where we were set up painting.









These are some finished work we had set up outside. This is a

combo of my and my mom’s work.

Mine is the funny bait shop sign.









Sherrie St. James-Bastien, my sister, has a mermaid yard art sculpture there on permanent

display. My sister welds mermaids, turtle and other

forms. Many are for sell at the Creative Native Gallery.









Mostly RhondaK long boards. Good for bars, restaurants and the fun tiki

bar owner.

These are the sign of my signs paintings I finished while people walked, parked, talked and generally checked me out while I was painting by the side of the road.

This ends my show. Sometimes being a tiki bar sign artist is being a clown standing on the side of the road. If you can’t paint while people talk to you, tell you what you should be doing, ask you questions and just stare at you….being a tiki bar sign painter is not for YOU!
