The Sarong | Acrylic on Canvas | 24" x 30" | BBD$2,000.00/USD$1,000.00 The Sarong: I quote Peter Minshall, huge Trinidadian master: “they say I’m a Portuguese, they say I’m a white, they say I’m a Indian, they say I’m a Chinese, they say I’m a African but I’m all of that, I am a Caribbean!” I love painting women thus exploring the many hues of our rich Caribbean diversity. Wearing her sarong, she is modern. The boudoir setting adds elegance and sensuality. Highlights of gold leaf on the perfume bottles or throughout the bouquet add warmth and life to the composition.
Sunday Blue Pearls | Acrylic on Canvas | 16" x 12" | BBD$1,000.00BBD/USD$500.00 Sunday, Blue Pearls: I have reflected throughout my work on the definition of creole and the process of creolisation and fathomed its importance and relevance on the physical, cultural and religious aspects of the Caribbean today. Simply, in this painting, the way women love to “dress up” for Church on a Sunday morning! Her beauty is humbling.
