Sanctuary

Exhibited April 10-June 20, 2015
American Society for Marine Artists (ASMA)
Southern Regional Exhibition
Gadsen Arts Center - Quincy, Florida

I was honored to have this work chosen to be included in this prestigious show!  Having been accepted as a member of this highly acclaimed society was an honor by itself.  They have annual regional shows and one national per year - displaying works of some of the most accomplished and sought-after marine artists from around the country.  I just happened to be close enough to consider trying for this one - and was pleasantly surprised to have been invited!

This painting was on and off the easel for awhile - something just wasn't right - so I just stared at it when in the mood.  It was inspired by a trip down the Wakulla River...and I really wanted to say how it FELT to be there - such an enchanting place.   One day I committed to facing whatever fears were holding me back...it was time to bring it on home.  So glad I did!
