This painting draws its inspiration from a truly memorable trip my daughter and I took to St. Simons Island while we were spending time in Savannah, Georgia. Savannah is one of our absolute favorite places to visit, especially since we are fortunate enough to live only about three hours away, making it an accessible getaway.
St. Simons Island is a stunning location situated off the coast of Georgia, widely known for its expansive salt marshes and wide, inviting sandy beaches, including the well-loved East Beach. The island is also steeped in rich history, which is wonderfully showcased in a local museum that tells the fascinating story of the St. Simons Lighthouse—originally built in the 1800s and rebuilt in 1872 after destruction during the Civil War. Close by, many anglers enjoy fishing off the St. Simons Pier, which offers breathtaking views of Jekyll Island as well as sightings of migrating whales during specific times of the year.
To the north, boats frequently travel to Little St. Simons Island, a pristine natural sanctuary that serves as a habitat for a diverse range of bird species, including graceful spoonbills and striking gannets. This painting is a mixed media piece that beautifully incorporates actual maps of St. Simons woven throughout the entire composition. Measuring 24 by 24 inches, it is gallery wrapped, painted on all sides, and arrives ready to hang or be framed according to your preference. Created using high-quality acrylic paints, the artwork is finished with a protective varnish designed to preserve its vibrant colors and ensure lasting durability for years to come.
