When I first took this photo on the Gulf Coast community of Indian Rocks Beach in Florida, I never dreamed a talented artist would be so inspired to pick up her brushes and decide to paint it as well. Thank You, Leanne! It takes my breath away. :)
Go see the rest of Leanne's work right here. She is getting ready for an upcoming exhibit it March. I wish her all the best...including Best of Show, because I'm biased, of course. ;)
absolutely beautiful! Breathtaking, in fact :-)

Beautiful work! And a very impressive range between photography,illustrations nature, people. Why is this art ringing a bell- did she paint a picture of a car for, hmmm, someone in the blog neighborhood. Momma K? Andyway, this GBH is just fine! I clicked back and your original photo was nice, too. :-)

She is so good! I loved her gallery. How exciting that your wonderful photograph was transferred into this amazing painting.

Just beautiful. My relationship with GBHs is a frustrating one, but I can't help admiring their majestic quality and this painting captures all of what is so beautiful about them!
