Judi Regal ventures into the Everglades to paint. She is able to capture its essence. Her current work can be viewed within the broad mainstream of Florida landscape painters stretching back into the early 19th century. Judi Regal’s art transcends both time and place. It evokes the exuberant, intense coloration of the fauves, the bright vision of Oscar Bluemner and the contemporary abstracted naturalism of Wolf Kahn.
