The Saunders Collection: Natural Lands of Florida - Artwork Commission Reveal for 2010

Appreciating the rare natural Florida landscape, Dean Saunders pursues ways to capture and conserve the state’s natural beauty. Dean is a sixth-generation Floridian who knows that the natural Florida landscape he enjoyed as a young man is a precious commodity for our future generations.

Throughout his career, he has guided many landowners through the complexities of land transactions and the conservation easement process. This effort is what brought him to the idea of capturing the natural beauty of Florida land through the authentic landscape paintings of well-known naturalist and landscape artist, Thomas Brooks.

Each year, a Florida location is selected by Dean to be painted by the artist. The commissioning culminates at a CBCSRE corporate event each year, where Thomas Brooks displays the completed and framed composition for the current year and the beginning works of the newly commissioned scene for the next year.

The 2010 artwork commission is called “Iron Head Landings.” It joins five other commissioned paintings in the growing collection.

The Saunders Collection: Natural Lands of Florida is a unique collection of commissioned paintings of “old Florida” landscapes and many are displayed in the Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Real Estate (CBCSRE) offices in Lakeland, FL.
