This 7 minute documentary was filmed entirely at Indian Rocks Beach Florida.   This old fashioned seaside town is where the award winning three member Plein Aire Cottage Artists (Mary Rose Holmes, Violetta and Helen Tilston) have been painting, en plein aire for the past twenty three years.  All our paintings are one of a kind, originals, painted in oil, en plein aire.

We have just fund a new art show of our latest paintings at Seabreeze Island Grill, Redington Shores, Florida.  We hope you visit. This venue shows our work in dappled sunlight from the intercostal water and the scent if jasmine wafts through the area.
