PATRICK O'NEILL, Acrylics Artist, Named July Featured Artist at Island Gallery W

This July PATRICK O'NEILL will exhibit acrylic seascapes, landscapes and wildlife paintings from coastline to countryside in an exhibit entitled "America the Beautiful." He may have been born in the city of Chicago, but Pat's heart is in the seascapes, landscapes, fish and animals he paints with stunning realism. Pat grew up on a farm in Alabama before moving to Florida where he works in security at Sarasota's Ringling Museum. He still finds time for an impressive array of artistic creations from murals, wood carving, sculpting, drawing, as well as the fine art paintings he shows at Island Gallery West. The exhibit will run from July 1- 30 at Island Gallery West, located at 5368 Gulf Dr., Holmes Beach, FL, Trolley Stop 15 on Anna Maria Island. Gallery hours are 10 AM-5 PM, Mon.-Sat.
