Wayne Baumgarten and Debbie Baumgarten

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.

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.

We 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!

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

Debbie, Buster and I went and checked out another beach today. It was really wow-worthy. Of course you expect ample wow-ness when you are going to the beach in the Bahamas, but some are over touristy and medium wow, and others are super-wow. I would put this one at about 9.5 on the wow scale. When I post it’s always a struggle to pick the best photos. I hope you will enjoy this selection.
