This month’s Artist Spotlight….Mikel Wintermantel

I am an artist schooled in tradition and raised in the modern world. I have been able to cross the advancement in modern materials and tools with my deep respect for old-world methods. Through years of exploration, my method and materials have become almost transparent in the creation process.
I strive to keep my vision fresh in each painting. I keep my palette simple by sticking with pigments that work well together. I paint layer by layer scumbling in color in thin, transparent washes at first then working to final details in rich opaque paints. The multiple layers of color marry into a luminous display of color, light, and atmosphere.
I begin painting in an almost frantic fashion. I try to establish the overall feel of the piece in the first moments the paint meets the surface. As it develops with each successive layer of paint, I make adjustments as needed pondering the mission of the work. My attention to detail becomes more focused as the painting nears completion, avoiding overwork at all costs.
My work is inspired by the Luminist Artists of The Hudson River School.
I am most drawn to the deeply filtered light of dawn and dusk, it is then you can usually find me scanning the horizon and sky for nature’s light show, making plans for another painting.
My paintings have found a home in numerous collections worldwide. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of those collectors. From that, I am at once humbled and flattered to be included in those collections, hanging alongside many of my favorite artists.

Keep Seminole Beautiful...
2020-01-28 00:00 - 23:59
KSB is an organization dedicated to keeping our community clean. Road trash is our pet peeve and the area that needs the most attention. We are thinking – we have quit teaching our kids not to litter. That “someone” will pick it up. Trash on our roadways or in our waterways is harmful to our eco-system. We want to protect our precious eco-system!
This is where you can help! Yes, we need you. We need you to come out and help pick up trash along the roadways and keep it from going any further. Talk to your kids or your grandkids and tell them littering is an awful thing to do and harmful to our environment.
We do two river clean ups each month. One on the north end of the Wekiva River out of Wekiva Falls (always the first Saturday of the month) and a second river clean up at Wekiva Island (usually the last Saturday of the month). In between we do a road clean up, tree planting, invasive removal or clean up at a local school that needs some attention!
The Wekiva River, one of Florida’s two Wild & Scenic Rivers and an Aquatic Preserve. Rent a canoe, kayak or paddle board and float down the river. If you take it in then bring it back out. Don’t leave your trash on the river to harm our precious wild life. Nitrates are harmful to our water – do you fertilize your lawn? Do you know what you are spraying on your lawn? Do you have a septic tank? Do you properly care for it?

Straws SUCK!
2020-01-29 00:00 - 23:59
Saving the world one sip at a time! Wekiva Island is now proudly offering only paper straws and straws only on request in the effort to reduce the amount of waste on our planet!
Not so fun fact: Over 500,000,000 plastic straws are used each day in the United States. That’s enough straws to fill 127 school buses a day!
Let’s all do our part to take small steps toward big change.
