Boulware Springs Water Works Building, Gainesville, FL

Located on a sign near the building it reads:

Boulware Springs a free-flowing and gravity-fed spring, was at one time estimated to contribute 300,000 gallons per day to Boulware Run, which flows south to Paynes Prairie and to the Florida aquifer.

This is what I called the springhouse, bright, sunny and interesting to look at and paint with rolling hills and picnic areas and the entrance to a bike trail.

"Springhouse" 16" x 26" acrylic on canvas $350

I painted a secondary view of the structure from the back of the building

"Eye on Fence" 14" x 11" acrylic on canvas

I was drawn to the fence following the curves of the hill and how it led towards the building. This painting may undergo a change.

First attempts at painting buildings as the subject of a painting. They are a challenge to paint.
