Our luxuriously soft beach towels are made from brushed microfiber with a 100% cotton back for extra absorption. The top of the towel has the image printed on it, and the back is white cotton. Our beach towels are available in two different sizes: beach towel (32" x 64") and beach sheet (37" x 74").
Don't let the fancy name confuse you... a beach sheet is just a large beach towel.

This watercolour portrait is of my Father, Aleksander, wearing his military shirt during World War II. Aleksander always had a sparkle in his eye and was quick to smile, but beneath that happy countenance was a man of great depth, deep faith, a zest for life who attracted the admiration of all that came to know him.
Aleksander will forever be young in my eyes. He passed away at age 51.

Dear Catherine, I am so humbled and honoured by your choice of Favourite of 2012, in the Female Artists - Creative Women group. As I type this with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face, I am so grateful that this portrait has moved someone that also understands how much it means to me. I'm showing my vulnerability in public I suppose by writing this, but as artists we do that on a regular basis anyway. I think at this point my father would say "Basia, stop crying now because it's going to make it rain and we still have to bring in the hay!" That would always make me laugh and the tears would dry up. Thank you so much Dear Catherine for the ultimate compliment. You have so honoured my father's memory The very best to you and your's in 2013! Barbara

Hi Barbara... I have chosen this portrait of your Father as my favourite for 2012 in Female Artists- Creative Women. This is the one that will stay with me forever and it touched me deeply. All my best for 2013! .. Catherine
Barbara McMahon
Catherine, Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I so appreciate that you took the time to tell me how the painting made you feel and what it evoked in you. Indeed he was a joyful man despite very hard times. He made hard work fun, wondered at the beauty of nature, sang like no one was listening, but most of all, had a love for all mankind and creatures that is rarely seen in human beings. I hope I possess a tenth of his personality. May your memories of your own Father continue to make you reflect and think and most of all smile.... for you are his legacy! Thank you for your support. Best Wishes, Barbara
Catherine Howard
Barbara... I love this portrait of your Father! You can see the joy in his eyes.. and to paint such an incredible tribute to him is heart-warming to see. Evoked strong feelings in me, as my wonderful Father died at 57, and isn't that the wonder of good art... that it stops us, in our busy lives and allows us to reflect and think. Thank you! v/f
