William Curtis was not only an English botanist from the 18th century, he was a Master Artist, too! His highly detailed watercolor engravings presented the most accurate flowers known to humanity. The scale and form of this flower is incredible. It’s amazing to think that he first drew it all by hand on a metal plate to make the final engraving! 
There’s something special about finding memorabilia with the same theme as your favorite place. This is especially true when you find artwork that features our little ribbon of sand called the Outer Banks.
Despite all the problems we encounter during the day, it’s a blessing to know that nature’s miracle of the sun gives us a colorful show each morning and night. The beauty of art allows us to enjoy it all the time in our homes and spaces.
Shiver me timbers! It’s time for a high-seas adventure in the art world. Blissful painted scenes of sailboats are an old and popular subject, especially in the Outer Banks.
