Honduran Hatter

Honduran Hatter, 6x6", oil on board

What do you do when you wake up at 5am on a cold, rainy winter's day?  Go to the Caribbean of course.  On the beaches of Roatan you will find crystal clear turquoise water, bright sun, and warm sand.  While you're there why not buy a banana leaf hat from this gentleman?  He might even sing you a tune.

This painting will be part of an up coming join exhibition with Asheville artist Moni Hill titled, "Seaside::Poolside" in Asheville, NC January 15 - March 8, 2015. 

Dona Juana Be Here?

15-3/4"x9-3/4", Oil on Board

Nothing better than on a cold rainy day to take off to the Caribbean... with my painting anyway.  This was done from a photo I had taken on a small island off of the main island of Roatan.  Something about the way the color, light and shadows bounce in and off the water was mesmerizing enough to take me back there for the day.  I can almost hear the waves lapping ashore.
