Watercolors from Lubbers Quarters, Bahamas











Here are the painting highlights of my stay at the big Sea Level Cottage. Watercolor painting with a small Cottman pallette helped me see and experience this paradise. There were lightning storms like I never experienced before. An imaginative vacationer at the Garden Cottage thought the tropical bushes and trees looked like bull elephants tromping right towards her. I think the thunder that continually rumbled on and on sounded like a heard of elephants breaking down the forest. When the storm passed on by I carried accordian style folded 6" x 24" papers right out into the water and painted behind some coral rocks that were removed to make a boat harbor. The coarl offered shelter from the wind and attracted small reef fish. To get a larger image please click on the pictures.
