Title: From the Banks to the Shore (BACK COVER FOR bLOOMS OF OLD CAHABA)

This painting carries the feeling of a journey—one that begins in the heart of the Cahaba River and stretches all the way to the open sea.

A peaceful shoreline fills the scene, with soft waves rolling toward the sand beneath a glowing sky. The lone figure near the water adds a quiet sense of reflection, as though standing between memory and hope, looking out over everything that has been lived, loved, and carried forward.

The words on the sand connect the image to John Bruce Givhan and Blooms of Old Cahaba, giving the piece a personal and historical meaning. It feels like a tribute—honoring family, place, story, and the long path from riverbanks to distant shores. Prints of the painting is available with or without the writing.

This painting speaks to legacy, remembrance, and the way our stories travel with us. It is both peaceful and meaningful, like a blessing written in the sand before the tide carries it into forever.
