\"\"I just finished a painting called SAMOA recently and framed it up.<\/p>\n

This painting is a memory of an unbelievable vacation that we took to Western Samoa in 2009.<\/p>\n

You can see the painting in my store by clicking here<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was Maria’s dream vacation, where the bungalows are over the water and the ocean is warm.<\/p>\n

We stayed at Coconuts Resort<\/a>, an amazing, quiet spot. \u00a0It was like being in Hawaii 200 years ago.<\/p>\n

Every morning I took a boat to the outer reef where there was a great left tube.<\/p>\n

The rest of the day was spent exploring the island with Maria & Dylan, on paddleboards and snorkeling.<\/p>\n

The only other thing to do there was eat & sleep!<\/p>\n

Only a few months after our vacation there, in April of 2009, a massive tsunami hit Western Samoa and the entire area was devastated.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard that it’s been rebuilt and Coconuts Resort is back to it’s original splendor. \u00a0I recommend this vacation for anyone seeking peace, simplicity and joy.<\/p>\n

(If you go, make sure you bring paddleboards – we used ours several times a day!)<\/p>\n

The SAMOA giclee print is available in my Store, Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Life is Good – Drew<\/p>\n

PS: \u00a0Samoa is available as a giclee print. \u00a0Check it out in our online store<\/a>!<\/p>\n
