Commissioned Oil Painting of Beach Bazaar on Siesta Key – Watch the Time-Lapse Memory Come to Life
There is something powerful about turning a special place into a lasting work of art. Recently, I had the privilege of completing a commissioned oil painting of the beloved Beach Bazaar store on beautiful Siesta Key — and I captured the entire process in a time-lapse video.
For many visitors and locals alike, Siesta Key is more than just a beach destination. It is a feeling. It is white quartz sand between your toes. It is sunshine reflecting off colorful storefronts. It is memories made during family vacations, weekend getaways, and spontaneous coastal adventures. The Beach Bazaar has long been part of that experience — a vibrant stop filled with character, charm, and that unmistakable island spirit.
When my collector approached me about creating this commissioned oil painting, the goal was simple: preserve a memory on canvas.
Capturing a Memory Through Oil Painting
Oil painting allows for depth, texture, and rich color that perfectly complements coastal architecture and Florida sunshine. With bold brushstrokes and careful attention to light, I worked to capture not just the storefront, but the atmosphere surrounding it — the warmth, the movement, and the joy that Siesta Key brings to so many.
The time-lapse video shows how quickly a painting can evolve when inspiration flows. Many people ask, “Can you really paint that fast?” The answer is yes — when the subject carries emotional meaning. Years of experience, combined with passion for coastal scenes, allow me to work efficiently while still honoring every detail.
Time-lapse videos also give collectors a behind-the-scenes look at the artistic process. From blank canvas to completed piece, viewers can see how layers build, shadows develop, and highlights bring the painting to life. It transforms the artwork from a finished product into a story unfolding in real time.
From Florida Sunshine to New York
Once fully dried, this commissioned painting will be carefully packaged and shipped to Northport, New York — where a piece of Siesta Key sunshine will now live year-round.
That is the beauty of commissioned art. Geography no longer limits memory. A favorite beach store, a family vacation landmark, or a honeymoon destination can hang proudly on a wall hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Every glance at the painting becomes a return trip to that special moment.

Why Commission a Custom Painting?
Commissioned paintings are always welcomed because every client brings a unique story. Whether it’s:
* A beach wedding location
* A favorite restaurant
* A cruise memory
* A childhood vacation spot
Or a charming coastal storefront like Beach Bazaar
Art has the power to preserve joy in a tangible way.
Unlike photographs stored on phones or social media, a custom oil painting becomes a daily reminder. It becomes part of the home. It sparks conversation. It carries emotion.
Toes in the Sand. Drink in the Hand.
Coastal living is more than scenery — it’s an attitude. It’s gratitude. It’s slowing down enough to appreciate sunlight on a building or shadows across the sand.
If you have a place that holds meaning in your heart, I would love to turn it into a lasting memory on canvas. Commissioned oil paintings allow you to hold onto that beachy, blessed feeling no matter where life takes you.
Toes in the sand.
Drink in the hand.
And always keep that beautiful, beachy attitude in your heart.
