Ocean and Surf inspiration

I've been commissioned to paint an exterior wall for a friend of mine this summer. She's a nature lover and an avid surfer. Upon my research, I came across these inspirational art prints.

Pane Bianco, Phoenix Arizona



My favorite lunch spot in Phoenix, Arizona was this joint, Pane Bianco. They make amazing foccacia
sandwiches! The foccacia breads were baked to order in a wood-fired oven, and served with fresh
local ingredients. Yum!
Pane Bianco has been voted best sandwich in Phoenix on several occasions....I'm not surprised.


The decor is just lovely!



They got that rustic, shabby chic thing down!
I just loved the relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, and heartwarming foods they served.



We couldn't resist! We also bought a loaf of fresh bread to consume later...
