Opening Reception Friday, August 26, POINCIANA
Richard Peter Matson
POINCIANA: A tree of the bean family, the Royal Poinciana (delonix regia) has brilliant orange and scarlet flowers and large flat pods, named after M. dePoinci, 17th century governor of the West Indies of which the poinciana is native.
POINCIANA, a timely show of gorgeous acrylic paintings by local artist Richard Peter Matson will be on exhibit at the Key West Art Center from August 26 – September 8. The glowing reds and oranges of the Poinciana tree in bloom, is a favorite subject for Matson who is a master at portraying their mesmerizing glow. Working outdoors at his easel, he is a familiar sight to his neighbors in the beautiful Meadows area of Old Town where he can be seen most evenings at sunset practicing his art.
