Gale's View of Galveston
Gale's View of Galveston
Acrylic painting - 18X24
Gale Hightower, a resident of Galveston, captures the heart and soul of the island through her breathtaking photography. Each photo, titled "My View," offers a glimpse into the natural beauty surrounding herâfrom serene beaches and graceful seagulls to majestic pelicans and other landmarks. Her work resonates deeply with all viewers, who are often moved not only by the stunning imagery but also by her remarkable ability to convey the essence of Galveston through her lens.
My hope with this painting is to bring Galeâs stunning beach photo to life with vivid detail and a calm atmosphere. The scene is framed by two elegant palm trees, their fronds gently arching as if welcoming the viewer into a serene Gulf Coast moment. The foreground features the seawall, its weathered surface telling stories of tides and time. Beyond it, the Gulf of Mexico stretches into the horizon, where large cargo ships patiently dot the distant waters, waiting their turn to navigate through Bolivar Roads toward the Houston Ship Channel. The ships add a sense of quiet movement and industry, contrasting with the stillness of the palm trees and soft waves. Warm sunlight bathes the entire painting, casting reflections on the water and giving the scene a timeless charm that invites both reflection and exploration.
Thank you, Gale!
