Back in the US, this painting was done of one of my favorite places. I probably spent more time here on vacation than any other place. It is Assateague Island, a National Seashore in Virginia. When I first started going there, the beach had not eroded to where it is in this painting. They tried to keep the sand from eroding and put up all these snow fences, but it didn't and isn't working. This barrier island is slowly moving west.
