SPLISH 'N SPLASH
















AN ORIGINAL PAINTING

Image size: 24 x 30 in.

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

 


The Lake Gabriel Boathouse Bed & Breakfast.
This place only exists in my imagination. Every day I thank God... I'm so blessed to be able to put on canvas images like this... to share with you what's on my mind... people, places, and situations you'd probably never see in the real world. Enjoy!
