Coki Beach That Way? oil on canvas board 8 x 10 (available)


   I was walking along the beach in St Thomas when out of the corner of my eye I noticed this scene, with my camera ready took the picture capturing the moment. I took some liberties with the scene, but loved the character leaning over the railing, the visitor leaning towards our center figure and pointing, as in asking directions. Rounding out our scene is the cook in the background, busy preparing the food, unaware as to what is happening around her. The colors are caribbean and serve to contrast our figures wearing light colors, predominately white. I have also been working on a large painting of the same scene with again some further liberties. Watch for it.
