“Island Paradise,” an imaginary place, by R.A. Woodall, is a 15-inch by 22-inch original watercolor on Arches 300 coldpress paper with Crescent acid-free matboard and Efamle framing
Woodall grew up in the small town of Chesapeake City, with a love of all things to do with saltwater. Having made many coastal trips, north and south from New Brunswick to Key West, he has no problem finding fun subjects for his watercolor painting. He and his wife Donna found another small town, Sebastian, to be the perfect tropical match to their town in the north. Their home and studio in the Roseland scrub has given them a wonderful sense of place.
