Fort Myers meets Picasso By Amy Fleming [email protected]

One of the most famous artists ever to set brush to canvas now has a show in Fort Myers. Nineteen lithographs by Pablo Picasso, one of the inventors of cubism, the foremost deconstructionist of the human form, and one of the most influen- tial artists of the 20th century are now on display at the Southwest Florida Museum of History, and the show is not to be missed. The prints are from the collection of Ken and Iris Hunt, two local collectors who have a passion for art. Judging from the response to this exhibition, Fort Myers also has a passion for Picasso. "The response has been amazing," said Helena Finnegan, the museum's public relations and marketing manager. "We are delighted to have something of this cal- iber to offer." Teachers have been trooping students in to see the show, teaching everything BIG season at BIG ARTS from the art of Picasso to the geometry inherent in cubism.

Learn about local estuaries in a fun, hands-on way

oin us to learn more about estuaries the fun w;i\. The Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program is Jpleased to announce National Estuaries Days 2005 - a time to highlight the importance of estuaries through recreational and educational activities. The fes- tivals, wading trips, guided walks and paddling events described below arc opportunities to learn about estuar- ies by experiencing them first hand. The events are coor- dinated by Charlotte Harbor NEP but offered because of the generosity of its partners. Many of the events are also sponsored by Charlotte Harbor NEP. The official National Estuary Day is celebrated Saturday, September 24 but since 2000, there have been too many local events to fit in one day! Many of the cities and counties that participate in the Charlotte Harbor NEP will again issue proclamations of support for National Estuaries Days.

ik Barton, muralist extraordinaire By Laura Nickerson Staff Writer ric Barton is a Naples artist whose extraordinary murals are reminiscent of Italian Renaissance Epaintings. Roman style viaducts, tall columnar cypress groves, iron balconies, marble statuary, and dreamy Tuscan landscapes all come to life in the vivid strokes of his talented brush. A traditional landscape mural of his could set the inte- rior tone and lend authenticity to the-"Mediterranean -^!»S Villa" architectural style currently in vogue throughout Southwest Florida. A beach scene commissioned from Barton complete with a fantasy sand castle and lots of tv shells might be just the thing for a wall in your island cottage or condo. His-murals'aye not just prototypes; each one is unique, and designed following several meetings with the home- owner to clarify exactly the look they are after. He per- sonalizes each mural in unusual ways whenever possible. In one Naples beachfront home, his circular ceiling fresco depicts 13 cavorting cherubs. Barton executed them as portraits: each has the face of one of the home- owner's grandchildren. In another Collier County home, the owner requested ..: •? ' that a fountain located on the property be included in a i ^ wall mural inside the home. Barton was accommodating. He has even found ways to incorporate images of people's

By Laura Nickerson StaffWriter Sambel-Captiva Conservation Foundation has begun a new native plant class stressing individual solutions to attendees' island landscaping problems. Taught "by SCCF's Landscaping for Wildlife Educator Dee Serage, the program opens with her dynamic statements regard- ing native plants as a jumping-off point for overall envi- ronmentally-friendly landscaping. Her outline for success includes • continued knowledge and usage of native planting. • less usage of irrigation systems except the drip variety. • almost zero tolerance of pesticides, including com- mercial fertilizers. • removal of all invasive species of non-native plants. • adherence to the 75% natives-25% non-invasive . exotics law for island planting.
