since she came to Florida in

mainly a watercolor artist but has recently branched
out to acrylics with a series of Caribbean folk
people. She has another series of Florida subjects.

and objects of nature. Doris does commission work
from time to time. Ms. Clanton does abstract as well
as realistic painting.

commissions for professional offices and homes
working the colors of the decor into her paintings.
