DeBary Hall
DeBary, FL, USA United States of America

Cecil Herring will be the Artist of the Month for April at DeBary Mansion, Debary, Florida, opening Friday April 3, 2009, with a reception 5 to 7 p.m. Show continues to the end of the month. Herring will show her new Florida Landscapes and Florals for the Easter season at the special invitation of Director Heather Homan. Cecil had a solo show there 4 years ago and it was a wonderful event. The over 100 year old mansion has been perfectly maintained. The stately mansion was built of Florida woods on a bluff with a porch around the entire house. Cecil Herring has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2004.

Over 100 years ago the only means of transportation was up and down the St. John's river. It is a delightful tour with photographs of the old riverboats. It is a Volusia Echo Project, maintained by Volusia County, paid with your tax dollars, so it is a carefully researched historic site.

"St. John's Cabbage Palm" oil on linen canvas, 22" x 28" (see image) was painted in plein air at a river site nearby. All of Cecil Herring's paintings on display were created around the river area and will be on easels throughout the Mansion downstairs.

Volusia Echo Project has restored the Mansion into a wonderful view of life as it was in Florida in 1876.
