Anita Marci's "Seaside Sanctuary"

"Seaside Sanctuary" is a composite painting. I usually use only one photo for a piece but, this one required several.  I love the idea of creating a painted environment that is so peaceful and inviting.  The original design for this large 3' x 5' acrylic on canvas was composed of three panels. It was designed for Katherine and Chris Berman for their Maui home.  We had planned to place it in the upstairs hallway but the top railing cut off the bottom of the painting.  With some quick thinking, I suggested we convert it to a single horizontal panel to fit the space better.  That worked, but, Chris decided that he liked the painting so well he had it re-hung in his downstairs home office. It hangs above his desk and he can see it from the hot tub outside, where he enjoys looking at the painting while taking a nice relaxing spa.
