A native son and frequent visitor to Jacksonville, Phil Sandusky expresses the city through the vivid, colorful gestures of his paintbrush. When he moved from his hometown, he began to view the once familiar environment from an entirely different perspective, discovering the aesthetic values of the sandy white beaches and neighborhood gardens. The more than 80 landscapes and cityscapes throughout the book include sunbathers at Jacksonville Beach, boats docked at the Fernandina Yacht Basin, downtown buildings, and views of nearby San Marco, Ponte Vedra, and Mayport.
