Testimonials for Florida Artist: What Collectors Are Saying About Lloyd Dobson
Since moving to the Siesta Key–Sarasota, Florida area in 2013, Lloyd Dobson has become a familiar and beloved name among art collectors who appreciate beach-themed oil paintings filled with light, color, and coastal soul. Inspired by the Gulf Coast lifestyle, Lloyd’s original oil paintings now hang in hundreds of homes and offices throughout the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Slovakia, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
Collectors are talking—not only about the beauty of the artwork, but also about the personal experience of working with a Florida artist who values relationships, storytelling, and lasting memories as much as the finished painting itself. From family heirlooms to custom commissions, the testimonials below reveal why Lloyd Dobson’s art continues to resonate with collectors around the world.
A Florida Artist with a Global Following
Relocating to Siesta Key, near Sarasota, gave Lloyd endless inspiration—from powder-soft white sand beaches to turquoise Gulf waters and dramatic Florida skies. His beach-themed oil paintings capture more than a scene; they preserve a feeling. For many collectors, owning a Lloyd Dobson painting is about holding onto a cherished vacation, a meaningful place, or a moment in time.
That emotional connection comes through clearly in the words of his collectors.
Family Heirlooms and Lasting Memories
“Having several Lloyd Dobson original oil paintings from the seventies and eighties which I inherited, we were already fans of his art. Thankfully on our family summer vacation we had the chance to see and meet the artist himself where he resides in Siesta Key, FL. We employed Lloyd to paint a seascape of the beach we spent the week playing on. The oil painting turned out incredible—what great family memories we will be reminded of every time we look at the painting on the wall, and the kids are already arguing about who gets to keep the family heirloom down the road.”
— Michael G., Labadie, Missouri
This testimonial highlights something unique about Lloyd Dobson’s work: continuity across generations. Paintings created decades ago still hold meaning today, while new commissions become future heirlooms—artwork that carries stories forward within a family.
A Tradition for Returning Collectors

For many collectors, visiting Lloyd has become part of their Florida tradition. Each new painting marks another chapter in their personal journey—proof that meaningful art isn’t a one-time purchase, but an evolving relationship between artist and collector.
Art That Stops People in Their Tracks
“I absolutely love my new painting that Lloyd created for me. I get compliments from everyone that sees it. I have several of his paintings and I plan on getting several more. He’s an amazing artist and one of the sweetest man I’ve ever met. Thank you Lloyd” Maryanna P. – Sarasota, Florida
A recurring theme among testimonials is impact. Lloyd’s beach-themed oil paintings don’t quietly fade into the background—they become conversation pieces. Guests notice them, ask questions, and feel drawn into the scene, whether it’s a glowing shoreline or a serene coastal horizon.
Custom Commissions with Heart and Integrity
“We recently renovated our condo and we were looking to bring in some color and give it a beachy feel. We live near the farmers market on Siesta Key and have noticed Lloyd’s paitings. We purchased one of his paintings and absolutely loved it. After we hung it we couldn’t bring ourselves to hang the other pictures we already had. We purchased an additional five paintings and they look great!! They were exactly what the condo needed. He even turned a cover we had on our electrical box into a work of art. He kept us informed throughout the process with a series of pictures and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. He is also an awesome guy, we feel lucky to have met him.” Tony & Valerie A. – Siesta Key, Florida

Why Collectors Choose Lloyd Dobson Artist
“I had a lovely lunch with Lloyd and didn’t understand how he knew almost everyone in siesta-until I went to the Market for the first time and saw his many beautiful paintings. I suspect many of those friends have his paintings in their homes and then became friends with this delightful artist. And now I have two wonderful paintings in my home. For me they catch the essence of Siesta. The many colors of the sunset and the beautiful white sand of the beach. Thank you Lloyd 😊 Judy” Judy H. – Cleveland Heights, Ohio
