TROPICAL SEASCAPE SERIES
My Inspiration:  Each year I spend a few weeks in St Georges, Bermuda in order to paint the local scenery and culture. Most of my original oil paintings of Bermuda are filled with the
 bright yet delicate tropical colors.
  The pink sands in Bermuda turn salmon color in the setting sun. Bermuda’s pink sand beaches look as if they have been dyed with iridescent paints. The colors in the sand are created by the force of the ocean’s powerful waves that crush sea invertebrates like coral, mollusks, clams, and other organisms. The remains of the red-coloured creatures mix with the other sea animals. The pulverized shells mix with the sand giving it a pink tint. This soft rose color of Bermuda’s beaches contrast
perfectly with the aquamarine ocean waters. This color palette equals an artist’s paradise.
This oil painting of a private, secluded  cove is one of the most perfect examples
of the pink sand and aquamarine water. I return to this cove each year to paint,
 always undisturbed by visitors.
This was originally one of many small en plein air paintings in oil later in my studio
 turned into a larger painting.
Bermuda is a self-governing  British Colonial territory north of the Caribbean full of culture and a beautiful preserved way of life.
