Received a wonderful comment from STL on the last entry wanting more of the art work. Some people are really nice when they know you are down a little bit............Thanks STL. That painting is screwed to the bulkhead, but here is the good news...... Once we get going there is going to be a little factory on board doing lots of oil paintings as the mood strikes and production will be stepped up when the money looks like running out. Each of them will be posted on the blog and then they will all be available to our faithful followers and mailed from the nearest 'Port-o-Call' in the Caribbean. Artwork can take many forms like this birthday card to my daughter in Darwin, Australia. I mean,......... is there a way to say it better?............ Oh, and the photo above is "ARITA" sailing in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand back in the sixties and that's almost fifty years ago..............Do a double-click on the photo and see how "ARITA" has changed.
The reef-line in the painting above is the outer reef at Green Island in Antigua while the other painting in oils on the right, hangs in the head and one gets a better chance to study the landscape on this one,......... if you follow my drift. It is a beach in Martinique where the French consider the island as another province of France and so bread, groceries and postage stamps are the same price as anywhere else in France. Great idea for shopping.............. Viva la Martinique..............
The best artist of all is "Mother Nature" for who else can get such a great living symmetry and balance out of a single plant like this aptly named "Traveller's Palm", that is 20 ft tall and then repeat the pattern in another 'Cabbage" palm stem right alongside it.
