Treasure Island Sandpiper, pencil and water soluble pencil on paper. Once upon a time Treasure Island, Florida was a vacation retreat for my household. My family spent a lot of time on it's huge beach. In fact it was the first beach that my children ever visited. Since those early days we've put our footprints on many other beaches, but Treasure Island still holds a special place in our family history. This artwork was done one bright and sunny day while I was on the beach at Treasure Island with my wife. She was reading and I was drawing. Love those lazy days in the sun!
