My latest oil painting

Here’s a painting I just completed yesterday. It is actually a copy of a painting that I love by a Russian artist named Leonid Afremov. It’s called Night Loneliness.

Garden of the Groves

We went to a beautiful botanical gardens called Garden of the Groves on the east end of the island. Buster got to meet the ducks! He wasn’t sure what to make of them! We enjoyed a nice lunch, visited some of the local shops and walked around and enjoyed the beauty.

Bahama Wayne in his Jeep

IMG_1469We got our new Jeep (used with a lot of miles) and brought it over to the Bahamas on the Ferry. We finally got it through customs and paid the taxes and now have our mode of transportation all set up.

Wayne has gotten fully into the Bahamas mode and is very much looking the part!

Live Jazz on the Beach

There’s a cute little restaurant on the beach near our place that has live Jazz musicians performing every Sunday. So we went by and thoroughly enjoyed a due of a great keyboardist and sax player, along with some great food and drinks. Here’s a short clip. A little Jazz on the Beach

Our trip to Barbados

We went to Barbados for a visit. To go there we took a ferry from Guadeloupe to St Lucia, stayed in St. Lucia for a couple of days and then flew to Barbados from there. All in all we were on the ferry for about 7 hours. The ferry has a downstairs enclosed area that is air conditioned and has movies playing. The upstairs has an open air seating area and an area out back where you can stand out on the deck. We stopped very briefly in Dominica and in Martinique – both very beautiful islands. And there was a spectacular rainbow at one point which I was able to catch part of on camera. By the time we arrived at St. Lucia it was getting dark. Here are a few photos of the trip there.
