SAND TREASURES

The tumbling breakers spill their treasures onto the beach. The sea wind ruffles her hair. The spreading white edge of foam swirls around her feet. The creaking cry of a gull is heard overhead. This is her favorite place . . . the place where sea and sand meet. Shovel in hand, head bowed in eager exploration, she searches for a special treasure for grandma. The expectancy of this child, the faith in her heart that she will find exactly what she seeks is the essence of this painting.
