| Beach Grasses and Sloping Seawall |
Galveston's seawall is an important part of the island. After the hurricane of 1909 it was built in the hope of preventing the level of devastation that occurred. They say that every structure in Galveston sustained damage and hundreds of people died. The location of this painting was on the beach with the main seawall behind me. The large stone structure on the right is part of a seawall ramp down to the sand. It acted as a great wind blocker too! The painting also depicts one of the many jetties that jut out into the Gulf. It was a winter day to remember.
