Fine art watercolor by Janice James (mat board and frame not included in memberships)

This beautifully designed rendition of the Belleview Biltmore Hotel, Belleair, Florida was designed by former St. Petersburg artist, Janice James, whose specialty is Florida architecture, from small quaint beach houses to historic landmarks, landscapes, seascapes and private homes done in the traditional manner. Limited edition prints have been made of several landmarks in St. Petersburg and Tampa including not only the Biltmore but the Vinoy and the Don Cesar Hotels in St. Petersburg.. She now is retired in Sun City, Florida with her husband of 55 years. She has three daughters and one granddaughter. Ms. James has been painting since the age of nine and has studied at the Ringling Art School in Sarasota, Florida and the University of Miami on an art scholarship. She became a commercial artist designing layouts and illustrating fashions for newspaper advertising. She is a Signature member of the Florida Watercolor Society. Her paintings have won recognition, which includes: Best of Show and first prizes in Miami, St. Petersburg and Sarasota. Please note that the actual size of the art work on the T shirt you purchase is approximately: 10" x 6.5". In order to protect the artist's work from copycats, I have purposely decreased the size of the photo. We sincerely thank Mrs. James for letting us use her beautiful watercolor to help us to continue to save and preserve the Biltmore. Depending on which membership gift package you choose, a watercolor print by Mrs. James is included; either 8 x 10 inches, 11 x 14 inches or 13 x 19 inches.
