SALT-WATERCOLORS
By Donna Elias and Mother Nature
Hurricane Sandy Originals
October 2012
In October 2012 New Jersey and much of the Northeast was hit by the worst storm in a century, Hurricane "Super Storm" Sandy. Shore towns were devastated, and Atlantic City was one of them. Most of the world’s playground went underwater. Local artist Donna Elias, like so many others, was not spared Mother Nature’s wrath. Five feet of water flowed down the street fronting Donna’s bay front workshop and studio. Tragically, hundreds of Donna’s sketches and original paintings went under the encroaching salt water. The Governor closed the city, so there they sat for four long days drying out, being preserved by nature.
Salt-Watercolors? Salt-Water Originals!
Remarkably, when Donna was finally allowed back to her studio, some of the paintings that hadn’t floated away or been eaten by crabs were still beautiful to behold!
Now, the artist would like to present you with the opportunity to own one of these “Salt-watercolors” at a fraction of their original cost. Each is a one-of-a-kind original painting by Donna Elias, altered in some way by Mother Nature herself. Each painting comes with a signed and dated certificate of authenticity by Donna Elias. Free Glass and Wood "Float Frame" included so you can see all the unique aspects of this painting.
Please note that the large, watermarked Copyright notice shown on the picture will NOT appear on your painting.
