John Hollan - Santa Rosa Beach Photography

"Half Life" by John Hollan

When I first walked into John and Deah Hollan's home in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, I was struck by the exciting decor and contemporary flair. I remember strolling into the living room, my eyes big and my smile bigger. I turned to my right and then my jaw dropped. There was one of the most beautiful paintings I had ever seen. I exclaimed that I "loved" it and was truly moved! My mother was an artist so I have always appreciated art and the creation of it. John said he had painted it, as he had several others around the home. I sold John and Deah's home in Pelican Bay a few months later, and they honored me by presenting the painting to me as a "thank you". I actually got misty-eyed at the closing to have received somthing so beautiful and meaningful.
