St. Augustine has special place in my memories of family vacations to St. Augustine when I was growing up.  As fate would have it the location of the this painting is just across from the RV park where we camped. Included in the pictures above is a copy of a letter Barry wrote that describes "Rock's of the Hammock" and gives some personal background on the subject.  Also, a couple of recent pictures of the location the painting depicts. We hate to have to give this painting up, as it has provided our family with a beautiful scene that brings serenity, peace, and fond memories of days gone by. Place a Bid!
