A Hint of THE Estate

While we were painting at Gulf Harbour one day, everyone was commenting on the very large estate on the point of land that sheltered the yacht basin. It was a rambling house with many add-ons and beautiful grounds. A rustic foot bridge connected to the island where some of us were painting. The chain link fence and sturdy lock discouraged anyone who wanted to explore further. We found out later that this was the estate where George W. Bush comes when he wants to visit Florida. We were so close!! I had taken a photo of the large porch on one end of this estate, because I liked the three palm trees and the foot bridge. At home yesterday, I was looking for a photo to paint and remembered this one. Here is the finished oil painting, of a porch, three Palm trees and a foot bridge where G.W. Bush stays. Oh the excitement of being so close!!!
