Fish or Cut Bait

We are excited to feature Ellen Negley’s watercolors in our stores. Ellen’s watercolors are a reflection of her surroundings and as you probably have guessed, she lives in sunny, colorful Florida! Travel has also been an important influence in her paintings, and you will discover her love for many Florida destinations. Here Ellen paints our own FMB Pier! If you have been to our beautiful island, you probably know that one of our stores, Pier Peddler, sits right next to the pier.

Over the last few years, Ellen has had her watercolors featured on several Florida fine art show posters, t-shirts, marketing material and magazine covers. We think you will have a difficult time choosing just the right watercolor to adorn your home since they are all so beautiful, but we’re sure you’ll find just the right one, or two!

Fort Myers has turned into a really quaint little Florida town. The downtown has been restored with cute deco buildings in lovely, tropical colors. No wonder all the snowbirds are flocking there. The painting possibilities are endless. “FISH OR CUT BAIT” is a watercolor of the Fort Myers Pier. I love all the action…fishing, sun bathing, boat watching…a painter’s delight.
