Siesta Key Art
http://LloydDobsonArtist.com Born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in Independence, Missouri. Lloyd studied art in high school and college where he won numerous art awards and ribbons. In Missouri he studied under his artist mentor Andrew Thoman. After high school he migrated to Southern California.
Soon after moving to Southern California he continued his passion for oil painting and studied under California artist Bert Carter. Lloyd has entered many art shows where he continued to win ribbons for his work, as well as selling his oil paintings to hundreds of clients throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
His work is enjoyed in private collections with some of the more notable collectors are Art Linkletter, Debbie Reynolds and Debbie Reynold’s mother. In 1967 he partnered with three other artist and opened a gallery in Laguna Beach, California. That same year opened a gallery and studio in Canoga Park, California where he taught oil painting as well.
Lloyd’s love of God’s beautiful creations inspire his paintings which start many times with on location watercolor sketches or photos and then back to the studio to capture God’s beauty.
In 2007 he moved to southwest Florida where Florida’s west coast now seem to influence his paintings. Living in the Siesta Key – Sarasota area and close to his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters have invigorated him and he continues to paint. He soon will be attending numerous outdoor art shows.
Lloyd is continuously surrounded by nature’s splendor here in Southwest Florida. Whether it is boating, hiking, or enjoying the beach, he is constantly moved by nature’s beauty. His inspiration comes from the magnificence of both the Siesta Key beaches and his experiences traveling into the Caribbean.
I hope that you enjoy his artwork as much as he enjoys creating it.
