. You can view these paintings ,inspired by the blues of Florida skies and the ocean, during the month of May.Phyllis Devericks captures shades of blue in cloudy, sunny, or stormy Florida skies and translates them beautifully to the canvas. Her ocean pieces evoke the dynamic range of the ocean from calm and tranquil to raging tempest.. Phyllis developed an interest in art early but work pointed her towards teaching, raising three sons and finally the finance industry. After moving to Florida, her interest in painting resurfaced .She discovered painting with acrylics and experimenting with inks, oil pastels, pigments, metallic paints, glitter, and gold leaf. She often paints with a pallet knife and uses heavy pigment to create thick texture. You can view Phyllis’ work throughout the month of May.
