Siesta Key Florida

IMG 3832 1

Siesta Key's long coastline stretches north to the south and features beaches 99% pure quartz sand that I always cool to the touch. By it's there beauty alone, there is no wonder why Siesta Public Beach has been named the no. 1 in America on multiple occasions by multiple travel outlets.

Sunsets are a timeless ritual in Sarasota County and watching the sunset from Siesta is a bonus setting into the Gulf of Mexico.

Within the visible range of light, red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules. So at sunrise and sunset, when the sunlight travels a long path through the atmosphere to reach our eyes, the blue light has been mostly removed, leaving mostly red and yellow light remaining.

Artist

Holland King

Holland King's love for drawing and art began at the age of 12 when he was introduced to comic books. Holland studied illustration at the San Francisco Academy of Art. After an enlistment in the Army, he settled in Tampa, Florida where he finally started painting where his work has appeared in galleries and restaurants throughout the Tampa Bay Area. He began working with chalk at a South Tampa eatery, where his work became a draw for the store and was featured in Restaurant Monthly Magazine and on Charlie Belcher's local news program. His first chalk festival was the Clearwater Chalk Festival of October 2015 and he has been doing this and working as a freelance artist ever since. Chalk, Acrylics, and watercolor/marker are the mediums he uses the most often.
