Bun Talk at South Beach Painting

My mother, Gwendolyn Eyeington, is the artist of "Bun Talk at South Beach". The painting depicts me and my childhood best friend talking and relaxing in the grandeur of the ocean. She was inspired to create this painting due to the beauty of the ocean and the blissfulness it brings. About the Artist: Gwen Eyeington has a bachelors degree in biology, worked in the environmental field for many years, and now publishes books in environmental science. Gwen is also an artist, and strives to convey the passion and wonder she feels for the natural world, primarily by painting landscapes in oil. Combining her scientific knowledge with her artistic ability Ms. Eyeington hopes to create environmental awareness, especially for the unique ecosystems of Florida, which she enthusiastically visits whenever possible.
