A Florida Tribute to Jimmy Buffett, Songwriter & Storyteller

A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett: Songwriter, Storyteller, and Island Icon

Original acrylic painting on canvas

I grew up listening to Jimmy Buffett, thanks to my Parrot Head parents. Instead of focusing on his commercial success, my original painting, Jimmy Buffett, the Storyteller, honors his career as a poet and master storyteller. His music transports everyone to paradise.

The painting's background references Jimmy’s days as a young musician in Mobile, AL, a nautical chart of Key West, and handwritten song lyrics from Last Mango in Paris and Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes. The hidden parrot over his heart symbolizes his love for performing to millions of adoring fans around the world. And, the clear spot varnish is from one of his favorite songs he wrote, Twelve Volt Man.

"Ask for some palm trees, or tales from the South Seas, and I just might turn your head."

- Jimmy Buffett, Twelve Volt Man
