Sailing blithely over crystal waters, a luscious double cheeseburger drifts ashore to the delight of very hungry visitors to this picturesque seaside town. Two whole beef patties grilled to perfection and topped with melted cheese, lettuce, onion, pickles, mayo, and a couple of strands of red onion, maybe a little squish of mustard for the full effect. Succulence in Paradise indeed. It’s the ultimate souvenir for a day at the beach.

This fresh feast for the eyes is painted with acrylics on a 4 by 4 inch stretched gallery wrap canvas by local art guy and part-time burger flipper, Vern Scharf. Then it’s coated with several coats of acrylic varnish, so it can take the heat of the kitchen and still remain tasty.

Bon appetit!
