WALK ON THE BEACH IS ONE IN A SERIES FROM THE SANTA ROSA ISLAND COLLECTION. ALL OF THE PAINTINGS WERE CREATED USING SEA WATER FROM A SMALL BEACH AT SANTA ROSA ISLAND, FLA, WHILE PAINTING, A MAGICAL CONNECTION DEVELOPED BETWEEN VAST BEAUTY AND MEEKNESS. THE OCEAN WATERS GRASP AT MY PAINTBRUSH AND WE BECOME PARTNERS IN THIS CREATION. I WOULD LAY PAINT ON MY PAPER AND THE SALTY SEA WATERS WOULD LICK AT THE COLORS TURNING THEM INTO BEAUTIFUL HUES THAT RESEMBLED THE ONES SURROUNDED US. THE SCENT OF THE OCEAN AND SAND FROM THE BEACH REMAIN WITH THE PAINTINGS.
