About Ronnie
"Swimming in Barbados"
Hello everyone.
I'm Ronnie Phillips a fine artist. My specialty is Oil Painting and sketching/drawing. I teach oil painting and drawing classes at Atlantic Beach Arts Market in Mayport Fl. I have a big display with my art on display http://www.atlanticbeachartsmarket.com.
I get such pleasure from teaching and doing commissions for clients. When I create a piece of art from their favorite pictures or ideas into a beautiful painting that will last for their families for generations it warms my heart and gives me joy!
This picture was taken in Barbados.
Working It!
As a young boy I recall drawing in class. Army jeeps and tanks. I loved building model planes and cars and then painting them. I loved colored pencils. Paint by numbers was fun. I've always enjoyed getting inspired by something that catches my eye and being able to draw it.
This is a painting I did for a commission Dragon fly on a sunflower.
The Mayport "Majesty"
I enrolled in an art class sponsored by FCCJ. The class was already 3 weeks into a 9-week course but was enough to give me direction and inspire me. Other than that great experience I'm shelf taught.
This is a commission painting of the Mayport fishing boat Majesty.
A very cool story of this one is that the man on the boat is her son that works the boat, and her husband flew these helicopters.
Neptune Beach Lifeguard Station
I love riding my bike around my wonderful beach community and capture images of local landmarks such as this one the Neptune Beach Lifeguard Station. I took this picture shortly after a rainstorm came through and the skies cleared leaving and leaving a puddle. This is a very popular place for locals as well as tourist.

Cool story, one of my students told me his wife love my painting and he asked if I could make it bigger. So, I had Gallery 725, who makes all my prints, make a larger Giclée on canvas.

Such an amazing story. Meleah met her husband here at the coke machine many years ago. The coke machine wasn't working correctly, and a lifeguard helped her out because she was upset. They started talking,
and ended up getting married. So cool!
