Sunrise at Bean Point

Living on Anna Maria Island and so close to the beach, I am influenced by the beauty of the Nature that surrounds me. I delight in the changing colors and moods of the Gulf waters, the amazing skies, and most of all the glorious sunrises and sunsets. I work from my photographs and my pastels allow me to paint with the same joy and awe that I feel when I look at my surroundings through the lens of my camera.
