Paradise is the name of a favorite beach bar on Santa Rosa Island. Located on the sound, it faces north and in summer the sunsets are in full view.
There is live music, an outdoor bar and plenty of space to dance or sit in the sand. Boats anchor or tie up to the dock within earshot of the music and guests laugh, play and enjoy their cocktails, many while sitting in shallow water to keep cool on hot days.
After sunset one evening, as I walked out on the dock to take a break from the crowd, I witnessed this combination of color dancing and reflecting the last of the day's light in the sky.
The original was sold to a collector in California, but "Just off Paradise" is available as a fine art print on paper, canvas or metal.
