art dark after
F ebruary is here and Naples is buzzing
with things to do. Crayton Cove and its
galleries and artists are no exception. For
starters, artist Phil Fisher is featured in a
show titled “Peaceful Places” at the Naples Depot
Museum from February 1 to March 31, 2016. It’s
an opportunity to view many of Phil’s paintings
focused on Naples and its surrounding beauty in
a historic locale that makes it obvious why many
of the “Old Timers” came and made Naples their
home, not to mention the rest of us and our 2
obsession with this as the place to be. 45

and will be gracing us with his newest paintings

along with Bob Graham, known for under-
water paintings based on his numerous dive
expeditions. The reception and opportunity to
meet these well collected artists is from 6 to 9
PM, Saturday, February 20, 2016.
These are just a few of the many reasons to
come and visit the Galleries of Crayton Cove
during the month of February. They are a
professional artist community in Old Naples by
the Bay all within a one-block walk.
