Bucky’s restaurant now showing exhibition of artwork by Simone Scott!

It’s been almost a year to date that Hurricane Paloma hit our small island and we are just now getting ready to re-open NIM Things. Got my father to paint out my gallery where my great uncle lived in after the hurricane but has since moved back to his own fixed house.  The shell mirror is for sale and was done by local artist Teresa Tibbetts.

Mrs Ryan’s Sand Yard

While my entry into the McCoy Prize 2006 was rejected the National Museum did buy it for their collection.

The tradition is to go ‘bac’ sand from the beach and sand off your yard. Leaving it looking all white and pretty like snow.  The conch shells and plants act as decorations.  This painting was done on site as I sat in my car in Mrs Ryan’s gravel drive way.  Mrs Ryan must be in her 80’s but one can still see her out there in her Sand yard garden either sweeping up the leaves or bending over picking up the falling mangoes or using the gallon bottles to water the plants. 

I have ordered postcards of this painting and they should arrive soon.
