Artist Bringings Color To Siesta Key

Community Spotlight – Artist Bringings Color To Siesta Key.

John Morton publisher of Siesta Sand Siesta Key’s #1 Information Source interviews Lloyd Dobson Artist.

Lloyd Dobson Artist artwork captures the area’s breathtaking beauty.

Q: Lloyd Dobson, you are a creative force whose oil paintings are seen all around Siesta Key, the region, and the world. For starters, tell us about your history with our island.

A: In 2013 I moved to the Siesta Key area from Treasure Island to be close to my son and granddaughter. Plus, after seeing the island, I was inspired in knowing that this is where the next level of my art career could flourish.

I began re-numbering my paintings after I moved to the area. The first painting was No. 110113. I just began painting number No. 1108422, which means that painting is the 1,084th one of done in the past nine years.

My travels have taken me all over the Caribbean but the Siesta Key area is my favorite, and inspires me to create memories that vacationers and locals can enjoy.

Q: Your display at the weekly farmers market. Share with us your history and relationship with that event.

A: When I moved to the area, I began looking for an outdoor event where I could showcase my art similar, to the events where I did the same when I lived in southern California. The Siesta Key Farmers Market was a natural. I contacted Bryan Eible, who owns the market, and the following Sunday began.

Since Bryan lives in New Zealand, although he’s a native Siesta Key guy, Bryan asked if I would manage the market.

We are open every Sunday morning from 8 a.m. to noon and have 25 vendors, as well as with live music providing the island vibes.

Part of my success is the free shipping I provide to customers in the U.S.

A great way to spend a vacation, seeing local artists and local businesses selling their products. It goes from 8am to 1pm  and most are closing up at 1pm so come early and hangout and listen to the live music!

A super way to spend Sunday morning! Have a tasty breakfast at one of the many restaurant choices in the village. Then visit the market before heading to the beach.

The market is located in the parking lot of the Davidson’s Pharmacy at the 5100 block of Ocean Blvd. The market includes many vendors such as fresh fruits and veggies by Yum Yum Tree, Fouta Spa towels, hand made pottery, Vinsoy hand made candles by Kim Johnson.

In addition Tropical silk paintings by Rita Van Gorder, plant varieties of bromeliads by Jason Mellica, photography by Mike Lee Beck and renowned artist Lloyd Dobson Artist exhibiting tropical beach themed oil paintings with FREE shipping to the lower US 48 & Canada and many more vendors including live music.

After walking the beach come into the Village and check out some 1_-_the_hub_baja_grill_at_night_-_templateof the restaurants, bars and boutiques. One of my favorites is The Hub Baja Grill located at the stop sign. Pan-Latin fare & margaritas are the draws at this festive, tropical-themed eatery with live music.

Another favorite is The Cottage. The staff are friendly, you feel like 1_-_siesta_key_the_cottage_-_templatethey could be family. They have a couple of nice sitting options, I.e. front porch to watch the people walking by, inside if it’s too hot and the inner courtyard which has some great island music. The food is above average with some Asian and other influences. Great spot to meet folks.

If late night is your thing then The Beach Club is the place to go for late night dancing and socializing.

My Favorite Sunday “Funday” afternoon schedule is the following:

1) Breakfast sandwich from Alex’s Village Cafe booth at the Siesta Key Farmers Market.

2) Selling my paintings at the the Siesta Key Farmers Market.

3) Going to The Hub for a great lunch, island live music and adult beverages after leaving the Siesta Key Farmers Market.
our thing then
4) Late afternoon for reggae music by Desi Adams and great food at Gilligan Island Bar.1 - Desi Adams Playing At Gilligans
