Description
This is a 33 inch by 22 inch deckled edged water color painting. This is the view that I often saw of the sunrise. I loved it when the water was glassy smooth and still. Reflections were especially pretty. I painted this in plein air.
Known as The Grand Old Lady, the hotel, which was built in the early 1920s, was torn down to make way for condos. For seven decades, the Brevard Hotel in Cocoa, Florida, was among the most popular retreats for locals as well as tourists.
Located on a four-acre estate overlooking the beautiful Indian River Lagoon, Brevard Hotel's 18,000 square-foot estate offered 53 rooms for rest and relaxation. It hosted many dignitaries - including Vice President Hubert Humphrey.
Back in the day, not too many years ago, I went there for office parties and Christmas parties. I did several paintings over the years of this lovely old building.
The hotel is a celebrated part of Cocoa's history. Pieces of the building were salvaged before demolition. They were incorporated into other building in town.
