Queen Angelfish


Acrylic on canvas (14" X 11")
$250 : Princess Street Gallery, Harbour Island, Bahamas www.harbourislandgallery.com


I get very excited when I see one of these when I go snorkeling. Like the parrot fish, it is their range bright colours that make them so special.



Bonefish


Acrylic on canvas (20" X 8")
$350 SOLD at Princess Street Gallery, Harbour Island (www.harbourislandgallery.com)

I see these fish in the shallows of the Caribbean side of the island. The iridescent scales reflect all the colours around them.

Conch

Acrylic on canvas (12" X 8")
$250 at Princess Street Gallery, Harbour Island (www.harbourislandgallery.com) 

I love searching the beaches for the 'perfect' conch shell. The contrast of the smooth lip and the rougher outside, as well as the beautiful colours, make it it a fun subject to paint.

Palm Tree at Midday

Acrylic on canvas  19" X 15"
$350 at Princess Street Gallery, Harbour Island (www.harbourislandgallery.com) 

I painted this from watercolour sketches painted on a windy day on Double Bay. I wanted it to feel like you're lying on the beach looking up at the coconut palm above you.
