The north end of Foul Bay has a sentinel rock where the sea crashes and the light changes dramatically. I tried to capture the scene in this demonstration piece for the class.
Speightstown is on the northeast coast and the north side of the town looks still untouched by the development that is overtaking the island. Next year I hope to stay awhile there and paint the picturesque street scenes.
The beauty of the place is captured here on the first day painting on the South Coast of Barbados. We also stopped to paint at Foul Bay, at least some of us, others were overtaken by some sort of dementia which left them unable. Then, off to the North Coast to see the sea pounding, and the fierce wind made it impossible to set up an easel.
The palms are at Bathsheba on the east side of the island, and here's my sketch of the place. Then, there's the painting of my wife Christine, knitting on the porch of our house on Massaih Drive, followed by some scenes along the Enterprise Coast Rd. where we stayed.
Artists featured at the gallery will be presented here for those of you who cannot get to town to see the paintings in person. Opening receptions for the artists are on Second Fridays. For those of you interested in a particular piece let me know by email at jcr3151@verizon.net.
