Vacation Memories


My daughter, Corrina, and I spent such a lovely vacation together several years back at this gorgeous tropical island in the Caribbean where the Rockefeller's used to hang out. The canoes where THAT colorful! Talk about being pampered.

Measuring 14"x11" on quality canvas board, it is titled, "Studio Floral".
