I’m delighted to share with you this recent paintiing “Rendezvous in Grenada” I painted this recently, and it is the 24th in a continuing series exploring the spirit of adventure in all of us. Distant shores, great voyages, friendships rekindled and quiet moments of joy on reflection of the wonders of our world.
