"Just another day in Paradise !"

At My Studio Now:

This is about Florida landscape artist, Riley Geddings. He resides in Carrollwood Village just on the outskirts of Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. He is happily married to his wonderful English wife, Maggie, who supports and encourages him in all of his his artistic endeavors.

Riley also maintains this website (theartcove.net) as well as theartcove.com. He always appreciates your comments and feedback - just use any "contact" link.

Riley Geddings was born in South Carolina but would have been born in Palm Beach, Florida because Riley's mother couldn't continue the trip as she was very heavy with child ! After a two-weeks delay, his parents continued the trip to Florida ! Since then, Riley has lived in this great state of Florida for the majority of his life.

His style of painting was developed in part with the study of the painting techniques of such varied artists as Bob Ross, William Alexander, Claude Monet, as well as the painting principles of the now famous Florida 'Highwaymen' of the 1950s era.

Even as a senior in high school, he studied art for two years under a wonderful teacher who was kind enough to give him good grades. He will never forget her advice - "paint exactly what you see" - and he does !

Later, as a young adult, Riley studied oil painting under a very famous commercial teacher in North Carolina. He has also spent many hours watching famous artists on television to learn all the painting techniques as possible. From then on, he has been self-teaching himself, and states "Some day I hope to become the great artist that Maggie thinks I am now !".

He considers himself very fortunate to be living here in this wonderful State of Florida, the natural beauty is endless and the scenery provides perfect ideas and unlimited subject matter for his paintings. Most of his work is inspired from actual scenes in Florida and he captures as much authenticity as possible in his paintings.

During the past few years, Riley has become more sought after and is now one of Tampa's emerging artists. He has produced many commissioned projects for art lovers in the United States as well as the United Kingdom and Spain. Riley's clients have come to realize that the paintings they have commissioned will become treasured family heirlooms. In addition, he has been involved as the artist in commercial projects.

He is featured on many well-known international art and artists internet web sites !

In his young days he served our great Country well in the U.S. Coast Guard:
