Galveston Seawall After Ike


This is all that remains of Murdochs ( the building in the distance) after Hurricane Ike. Notice the granite monument and how it has been shifted by the force of the sea. This is right in front of where Hooters used to be. These photos were taken yesterday October 3rd 2008.


These two photos are all that is left of the Balinese Room.

Balinese Room and Murdochs in Galveston





Hurricane Ike slamed the Galveston coast on Sept 12th and 13th. It destroyed some of Galvestons historic piers. The Balinese Room has some very interesting history http://balineseroom.net/.
Murdochs was just the coolest gift shop ever. http://www.murdochspier.com/
I took these photos in April of 2008. I sure do hope that they will rebuild the piers.
My home made it through the storm with just minor damage so I am blessed.

Young Madonna

My thinking here was to create a modern version of the madonna icon. I painted a contemporary young girl with a halo design in the sky around her. The painting is from 2003 quite large, around 30 x 40 inches and is now in a private collection.

Aloha mermaid

A small 11 x 11 inch painting on canvas with heavy texture. I enjoy the small square format of this piece, so I think I will do some more.
