A Florida artist creates art that embraces the Palm Beach community and also pays tribute to Old Glory, embracing the American spirit. 

While painting in her studio, Camilla Webster told Fox News Digital she creates a distinctive American flag to “reflect a moment in time.”

“I paint more than one American flag each year that represents how I am feeling about the country in that year,” said Webster.

“I remember after 9/11, everyone put flags outside their door, and I kind of wanted to get back to that time when we shared common destiny.”

As a Daughter of the American Revolution, Webster says her family’s history inspired her to help share the American story through art and pay homage through every detail.

“All the American flag paintings are painted on acrylic on canvas which was developed in the U.S. Acrylic paint was very important to the American art story because it belonged to us. Europe had oil paint.”

This year’s flag painting was created in collaboration with a photograph of Andy Warhol taken by Karen Bystedt at the offices of Interview magazine in 1982.

“You see here is Andy holding the American flag, very meta against my American flag. … It was very important to me for us to remember that we’re all American. Our flag is one of the great representations of our spirit,” said Webster.

In 2023, Art Basel brought together 277 international galleries, attracting over 79,000 visitors.

“I think people are very excited to see a contemporary experience through the Warhol lens of Americana. It was received very positively.”

Between July 1 and Sept. 30, more than 34 million travelers visited Florida, according to Visit Florida, the state’s official tourism marketing corporation.

“It is absolutely incredible to see what’s happened since the Norton Museum of Art has opened across the street from our studio here. We have incredible design houses. … We also have some of the greatest collectors and, of course, supporters in the art world.”

“You will see every art gallery and every artist hopping during this exciting season.”

Webster has collections carried at the luxury Breakers Resort and has collaborated with the Palm Beach Historical Society. 

“I have, I guess, become part of the fabric of Palm Beach in my art and design, and it’s a true honor. I partner with Discover The Palm Beaches, the tourist board, all to capture the spirit of this magical island and this place.

Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis — who was urged by President-elect Donald Trump to run in the special election to replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz in Florida’s 1st Congressional District — hopes to win so he can support the incoming commander-in-chief’s agenda.

Patronis told Fox News Digital during an interview on Thursday that he is eager to run and “support President Trump’s agenda about” eliminating “wokeness” which has “infiltrated” government and society.

“We need common sense,” he said, asserting that it is not currently “very common” in the U.S.

Asked whether he would be interested in joining the House Freedom Caucus if he wins the House seat, Patronis indicated that he would “love to know what they’re all about,” and said that many of the things he is familiar with the group participating in “make sense to” him.

He said, “the citizens of the United States, or in this case District 1, spend their money better than Washington D.C. does.”

Patronis wants the Sunshine State to adopt gold and silver as legal tender and has called for a study on the issue.

“Gold and silver have been trusted assets for thousands of years, and it makes perfect sense to use them as legal tender. I’m launching this study to determine the best way to get it done,” Patronis said in a statement included in a press release earlier this week. 

He indicated to Fox News Digital that he hopes the study will pave the way for the state legislature to approve legislation “to allow this type of economic freedom right here in the state of Florida.”

In addition to Trump’s backing, Patronis also has scored endorsements from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn.

Country star Walker Hayes surprised three Waffle House employees in Tennessee when he gave them huge tips to mark the holiday season. 

The 44-year-old singer was joined by entrepreneur and social media influencer Lexy Burke at one of the restaurant chain’s locations in Nashville, where they handed $1,200 in tips to workers following a meal.

Known as the “Serial Tipper,” Burke, a former server, collects donations from her followers to provide restaurant staff with generous tips. Burke launched the online movement in May 2020 to support food service workers after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and she has continued her efforts since then.

“Honestly, I’m just so grateful Lexy included me in something so generous that she has cultivated,” Hayes told Southern Living magazine.

He continued, “As far as giving back is concerned, it is wild to be on this side of the gift. We’ve had people give us cars when we were hurting financially, so we know what it’s like to need a little help.”

In a joint video posted by Hayes and Burke on Instagram Thursday, the two were seen meeting up outside a Nashville Waffle House. Burke introduced the Grammy Award nominee as a “surprise contributor.”

“You ready to tip?” Burke asked Hayes.

“Let’s big tip these people,” he replied with a smile.

Burke was seen chatting with a waitress, who said she also works at a hospital. The server marveled over Hayes’ appearance at the restaurant, telling Burke, “Wow, he walked in while I was working. I don’t ever get to see anybody good.”

Another employee played Hayes’ song “Fancy Like Christmas” on the jukebox while the singer placed his order with the waitress.

“I’m trying to get this item on the menu. It’s called the Waffle Hayes,” he said. “It’s basically a waffle but with two eggs over-easy and bacon and cheese in it and folded like a taco.”

“We have customers come in and get that,” the waitress told him.

“If they get that, that’s what I want,” Hayes said.

After finishing their meal, Burke told the waitress and two other workers about her serial tipping movement.

“I do this thing like every holiday season on my social media where I just ask people to send in some spare change,” she said. “So they do that and then my friend Walker wanted to contribute as well.”

Burke told the astonished employees that they were giving them $400 each for a total of $1,200.

“What’s up?!” Hayes said before assuring them that Burke was serious.

“On my God,” said one worker, to which Hayes replied, “I know!”

“This is from tons of people who just wanted to make y’all’s night,” Burke said. “A lot of love.”

Burke gave the waitress a stack of $100 bills while Hayes cheered.

“Can I hug you?” the waitress asked.

The two hugged and the waitress said, “I’m going to hug everybody. Thank you so much.”

At the end of the video, the employees addressed Burke’s followers, calling out “Thank you!”

Before skyrocketing to fame with the success of his 2021 viral hit “Fancy Like,” Hayes struggled for over a decade as an aspiring singer-songwriter and worked at a Costco in Nashville. During a July 2023 interview with Fox News Digital, Hayes detailed his battle with alcoholism. 

The father of six shared that he was able to embrace sobriety and his faith with the help of his friend Craig Cooper, a pastor who helped him and his family when they needed it most.

While speaking with Southern Living, Hayes said, “I really never dreamed we would have much to offer anyone.”

“So grateful, especially in this season, to help anyone, however we can,” he added.
