We are staying at Davis Bayou at the Gulf Islands National Seashore near the town of Ocean Springs.
This is another wonderful national treasure. It is great to have some peace and quiet after New Orleans.
A very fine artist, Walter Andersen, painted the entire walls of the new community center in 1951.
Images from nature with pattern are characteristic of his work.
The French history of the area is in evidence on the walls.
In Ocean Springs a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home for a rich Chicago banker is now being renovated a few hundred feet from the shore.

This is a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We went over to Gulfport to see the jumpers. Can you believe this is an iPhone 4 photo?

At the Visitor Center.
We are determined to have a beach picnic even though it began to feel as though a hurricane would blow us away.
I love the Walter Andersen walls! I am so inspired! That was a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteTotally! That artwork is amazing! Also love the view of the Gulf from the Lloyd-Wright house, especially the shadow cast from the trees. We'll have to return together once the renovations are done.
