My name is Lloyd Dobson an artist living in the Siesta Key – Sarasota
Florida area. I was born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in
Independence, Missouri. I studied art in high school and college where I
was blessed to win numerous art awards and ribbons. In Missouri I
studied under the late artist Andrew Thoman. After a year in college I
migrated to Southern California.
Soon after moving to Southern California I continued my passion for
oil painting and studied under California artist Bert Carter. I entered
many art shows where I continued to win ribbons for my work, as well as
selling oil paintings to hundreds of clients throughout the United
States, Canada and the UK.
My
work is enjoyed in private collections with some of the more notable
collectors Art Linkletter, Debbie Reynolds and Debbie Reynold’s mother. After a couple of years living in California, I partnered with three
other artist and opened a gallery in Laguna Beach, California. That same
year opened an additional gallery and studio in Canoga Park, California
where I taught oil painting as well.
My love of God’s beautiful earth creations inspire my paintings which
start many times with on location watercolor sketches or photos and
then back to the studio to capture God’s beauty.
In2007 I moved to Treasure Island, Florida where Florida’s west coast now
seem to influence my paintings. In 2013 I moved to the Siesta Key –
Sarasota area and close to my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters
and they have invigorated me to continue capturing God’s palette.
You can find me and my paintings every Sunday from 8am to 2pm at the Siesta Key Farmers Market in the Village on Siesta Key, Florida Come by and say hello.
