Angie's Beach

SOLD

11"x14" Oil on linen board.

It is incredible to sit here in Pensacola, Florida and watch the devastation of a hurricane on the shores of the northeast.  The pictures are all too familiar to many people here who suffered similar losses from Hurricane Ivan in 2004.  Our home was spared any significant damage. Three large trees snapped and fell parallel to our house, and our roof lost several shingles.  Our downed fences initiated friendships with neighbors whom we had never met.  We had evacuated to Dallas, Texas, and watched the storm from afar.  As I watch interviews of people in the northeast, I recall the rush of emotion upon first sight of the destruction as we returned to our ravaged city, and my heart aches for those who lost loved ones, lost homes, and are struggling to find food, water and gas.
