Rainy Day Inspires Me!!!

Rainy Day Work Boats 30" x 24" Acrylic

So much rain at the Grenada Sailing Festival on Saturday last weekend.  Then little 5 minute bursts of sunshine--the sky put on quite a show!  So this is the first in a series of paintings that will come from this rainy day on the beach.  Good news is that I didn't get a sunburn.

Carenage As Per Your Request

One of the most requested commissions that I do is of the Carenage of St. George's.  It is beautiful, and always changing.  Even tho it is the same scene, every painting is different, because I am different every time I come to it.    So here are two views.  EnjoyBright Carenage 42" x 48" Acrylic 2013
