The New painting of...The Sandcastle Beach Club

---

I  jumped on this  heartfelt painting of the Sandcastle Beach Club, on the Fort Myers Beach island in the Southwest Florida Gulf to make art prints available for the holiday gift giving.         

We sadly lost the SANDCASTLE to Hurricane Ian 2 yrs. ago, 9/28/22.

The recent decision of us owners to not rebuild has left many with only the fond memories of the yearly vacations in our happy place, and the friends we’ve collected along the way.

I spent a bit of  time recently trying to imagine what the perfect view for the painting would be. 

I suddenly realized that I've spent 20 some years pool-side, thinking each year about painting  what I was seeing from my vantage points...so here we go...FINALLY!!!

This project started with a bit of a posthumous feel to it, but I now painted it with a total positive attitude, pulling from all the great memories from all the years.

Shown above is a small 9” x 7” pencil sketch which guided  the  40” x 28” painting. I added in-progress photos here as I rebuilt the Sandcastle in this original piece.  

The painting is now completed, and 27” x 19” high quality print reproductions are being produced. Only 250 prints are being produced.

My hope is that this painting will help to fill the void we are all feeling!
