For years, my Texas-born "sisters" and I took an annual girls' trip to Galveston, Texas to feel the shifting sands, smell the sweet salty air, and hear the hypnotizing sounds of the waves breaking on the shore. In addition to the beach and the seafood, there were also some seriously competitive games of Mexican Train! After one of these trips, I created an encaustic painting from one of the photos I took. (It's a multi-layered process where the image is embedded in hot beeswax and enhanced with pigments as well as (in this case) sand from the beach.) This piece of art bring back lots of memories of good times with wonderful people. Perhaps it will make you remember some good times, too.
