Beach at Figure Eight Island

"Pristine" would perfectly describe the beach at Figure Eight Island. This private barrier island lies between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean just north of Wilmington, NC. It is strictly residential and the lack of commercial businesses has ensured that the natural beauty of the coastline remains intact... breathtaking..... - This painting has a lot of texture and heavy paint; part was painted with a pallet knife.
