As the old saying goes, art is in the eye of the beholder. I invite you to take a minute to explore the twinkle in mine. Since I can remember I have been enchanted with color and sound. The way natural colors merge into the landscape shared with the sweet whispers of life. The kaleidoscope of colors in a sunset, ever changing, inspiring a rush of emotions that electrifies my soul. Through my art I hope to pass these feeling unto you. Each painting I create is an attempt to capture a brief moment in time. Each windchime celebrates life with its own unique sound. I imagine every JohnyMan as a sentinel, steadily, quietly witnessing life and hopefully adding a smile onto one’s face. On the following pages I bare my soul, do as you may with it. John Betts

Bert’s Bar is composed of two buildings. The original building was the bar near the road. It was built in the 30’s as a “sweet shop”. Then in 1941 the hotel building was built. It consisted of eight sleeping rooms. During WWII, army bases were set up at Page Field and many of the soldiers would come out for a weekend to Matlacha to go fishing off the “fishingest bridge in Florida” at Matlacha Pass. They became regular customers of the hotel and bar. The hotel had the reputation of “ill repute” and ladies of the night. Imagine that!
