I almost forgot! Happy #Caturday to those who celebrate

This sleeping beauty is one of the six-toed menagerie at the Ernest #Hemingway house and museum in #KeyWest. It happens to be snoozing in Hemingway’s study, where he did a lot of his writing

For some reason, he had a thing for 6-toed 🐈s 🤷‍♂️

For #scapeday — here’s a #seascape #sundown for your viewing pleasure. This might be more appropriately termed a #skyscape.

The #moon adds to the beauty and a “stealth cloud” in the low center contributes a bit of mysterious vibe

Was a gorgeous evening for a sailing cruise 😊

Alisa Mealor Street Artist
500 Duval St.
Drawing upon years of immersive experience in the enchanting Key West and the tranquil Florida Keys, this artist Linoleum Prints captures the exquisite beauty of their surroundings.
#KeyWest #Art #LinoleumPrints #FloridaKeys
This artist has spent years deeply engaged in the lively atmosphere of Key West and the Florida Keys, capturing the essence of that experience through their stunning Linoleum Prints. A woman stands in front of a large white sign with the words "From Woman's Hand" in pink cursive lettering. The sign advertises an exhibit featuring the Florida Keys. The woman is wearing a white dress with blue patterns and has long brown hair. She is standing in front of a wall with a large colorful abstract painting on it. The painting is a mix of different colors and textures, including blue, green, yellow, and orange. The image is likely taken at an art gallery or museum, and the woman may be an artist or a patron. The image captures a moment of artistic appreciation and the beauty of the Florida Keys. Over the years, this artist has fully embraced the colorful spirit of Key West and the Florida Keys, translating that rich experience into breathtaking Linoleum Prints artworks. This is a framed print of a stylized jellyfish, created using linocut, a printmaking technique. The jellyfish is depicted in a deep purple hue, with intricate patterns adorning its bell and flowing tentacles. The print is set against a textured, off-white background, adding depth and visual interest. The artist's signature, "A. Meador," is visible in the lower right corner, adding authenticity to the artwork. The overall effect is a striking and unique portrayal of this fascinating marine creature. For many years, this artist has been enveloped in the dynamic culture of Key West and the Florida Keys, and their Linoleum Prints vividly reflect that journey. The linocut print depicts a stylized, almost mythical, wolf-like creature with a powerful, almost regal presence. It is rendered in black ink on a cream-colored paper, creating a striking contrast. The creature's face is prominent, with large, expressive eyes and a prominent nose. Its long, flowing hair is depicted with a series of parallel lines, adding to its sense of majesty. Behind the creature, a stylized tree with delicate branches and a small deer stand out against a background filled with small circles, resembling snowflakes or possibly a starry night sky. The overall composition suggests a sense of mystery and wonder, hinting at a story waiting to be told. The intricate details of the artwork, particularly the stylized forms and the use of negative space, contribute to a sense of depth and intrigue. Throughout the years, this artist has immersed themselves in the lively culture of Key West and the picturesque Florida Keys, skillfully expressing that experience through their remarkable Linoleum Prints creations. The image is a black and white woodcut print of a sea turtle swimming through a field of seaweed. The turtle is depicted in a stylized manner, with its shell and flippers rendered in bold, simple lines. The seaweed is also stylized, with long, flowing blades that create a sense of movement and depth. The print is framed in a white mat and is signed by the artist, "T. MEADOR." The image is reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodblock prints and is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of nature through the art of woodcutting.
