Frangipani Gallery

I've been busy for a good reason. I will be opening a new gallery, Frangipani Gallery in November. I purchased the space at 1102A Duval, right next to SoDu Gallery, in the heart of the South Duval arts district. Renovations are taking place now - there's nothing like fresh paint!

New Year, New Paintings

January is here again and it's time for my annual show of new paintings. Please join me at SoDu Gallery Saturday January 30 6-9 pm for an evening of food, friends and fun. Here are my favorites from the show.
"I've Got Your Back," the painting of two pearly nautilus shells was inspired by the two shells I bought several years ago while shopping with my friend Katherine in Virginia Highlands, Atlanta. I said I would paint them one day and I did this summer. Done in one long(and painful) sitting, the paint was flowing just right as the layers of the shells grew and grew.
"Callas" is a bit shell like in form. I loved the colors of turquoise fading into creamy yellow.

Bad Girl

The tree is up and the lights are on and a very naughty kitty has gotten into the ornaments, but at least she hasn't spilled the wine... yet! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Fantasy Fest

Fantasy Fest is just around the corner. Who will you be?

SoDu Gallery

I just added the SoDu Gallery Facebook feed, so now you can check out gallery events right here on my blog. If you enjoy Facebook, find SoDu Gallery and Fran Decker and become a fan.

Fall Paintings

Even in Key West, you can feel the change in the air.

Studio Sale

Summer is slow in Key West, so I've decided to put a Studio Sale page on my website, www.frandecker.com. Here's a great opportunity to get an oldie but goodie original painting for a great price. Most of these are on display at the Sugarloaf Logde, MM 17 in the Keys. Enjoy!
